R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium

Sri Lankan cricket fans will forever remember R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium as the venue where Sri Lanka declared a fantastic 952 for 6 test total against India in 1997-98, the highest test total in history of cricket. During the game, former Sri Lanka captain Sanath Jayasuriya and Roshan Mahanama together scored a whopping 576 for the second wicket setting a world record as the pair with the highest partnership in test cricket. Couple of years later, the stadium became the first in Sri Lanka and the fourth in the world to have hosted 100 ODI (One Day International) games. Since then, the venue has hosted 27 more ODIs.
