Apart from his piles of runs, Jayawardene made big contributions for his team on the field as well. He went into his final Test with 202 catches to his name, second only to Rahul Dravid on the all-time list, and held the record for the most takes off a particular bowler: c Jayawardene b Muralitharan was seen 77 times on Test scorecards around the world

Strangely, Jayawardene did not pick up a Man-of-the-Match award in Test cricket for over four years, from November 2009 to January 2014. The wait ended when he scored 129 against Pakistan in Dubai, helping Sri Lanka take a huge lead that eventually propelled them to a nine-wicket win

Another double-hundred, the sixth of his career - and another Man of the Match - soon followed, as he scored 203 not out to lead Sri Lanka to a mammoth 730 for 6 against Bangladesh in Mirpur. Sri Lanka went on to win the Test by an innings and 248 runs

Jayawardene announced on July 14, 2014, that he would be retiring from Test cricket at the end of the home summer. Ten days later, he was scoring yet another hundred, this one against South Africa at the SSC in his penultimate series. Soon enough, it was time for his swansong, and Sri Lanka was prepped for the occasion
