Every hundred
139 v Bangladesh, Mirpur, 2014 · Away · Won
A good ton. He made 19% of the team's runs. The match didn't hinge on it: he came in at 0 for 0.
125 v Pakistan, Galle, 2015 · At home · Lost
A good ton. A loss: even a great hundred can't be a ton of consequence in a defeat.
115 v Australia, Colombo (SSC), 2016 · At home · Won
A ton of consequence: carried the innings. In at 1 for 8, 16 behind. He made 33% of the team's 347, and no one else came close. The team won by 163 runs. The series was already won by his side. A slow grind at 43 runs per 100 balls.
