  Jayasuriya ton in vain as India win 1st ODI
28 Jan 2009
 

Sri Lanka veteran Sanath Jayasuriya`s century went in vain as a half-century each by Gautam Gambhir, Suresh Raina and Mahendra Singh Dhoni guided India to a comfortable six-wicket win in the first of the five one-day internationals in Dambulla today. Jayasuriya scored 107 in 114 balls. His innings came on the 212th day of his 40th year, making him the oldest centurion in ODIs. When he brought up his 37th run, he also became the second man to reach the 13,000-mark in his career. He also crossed 50 for the 95th time to go one clear of Sourav Ganguly, and in second place behind Sachin Tendulkar who has 132. His knock was the second ODI century in Dambulla, and the highest individual score as well. Brief scores: Sri Lanka 246/6 in 50 overs (Jayasuriya 107, K Sangakkara 44: Ishant Sharma 3/51) lost to India 247/4 (Goutam Gambhir 62, Suresh Raina 54, Mahendra Singh Dhoni 61 n.o).
