Sri Lankan cricketer Kamindu Mendis made history in Galle on Friday by becoming the fourth player to reach 1,000 Test runs in just 13 innings. The 25-year-old left-hander scored an unbeaten 182 against New Zealand in the ongoing second Test, making him equal third-fastest to the milestone along with Donald Bradman and George Headley. Mendis has quickly established himself as a key performer for Sri Lanka since his debut two years ago, with five centuries in 13 innings. He also formed a 200-run partnership with Kusal Mendis in the latest Test, where Sri Lanka declared at 602-5. Mendis has been in exceptional form this year, being the highest run-scorer for Sri Lanka in their recent series against Bangladesh and England. His impressive achievements have put him in the same league as some of the greatest batsmen in cricket history, and his contributions have been instrumental in Sri Lanka’s victories. Mendis’ record-breaking innings have brought a sense of pride and excitement to cricket fans in Sri Lanka and around the world, as they eagerly anticipate more exceptional performances from the talented young player.
