NEW DELHI: In a remarkable display of batting prowess, Sri Lanka etched their name in the annals of Test cricket history by amassing a staggering 531 runs in their first innings during the second Test against Bangladesh. However, despite their monumental total, Kamindu Mendis fell agonizingly short of securing a third consecutive century in Test innings.
Sri Lanka's formidable total on the second day in Chittagong marked a record in Test cricket for the highest team score without any batsman reaching the coveted century milestone. This remarkable achievement surpassed India's previous record of 524-9 against New Zealand in Kanpur back in 1976.
