ToggleKumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene
Bolstered with the record for the greatest Test partnership of 624 against South Africa, Sangakkara and Jayawardene are regarded as the Jai-Veeru of Test cricket; they are inseparable friends on and off the field. The two giant pillars of Sri Lankan golden era, Mahela and Sanga remain second on the list of most partnership runs both in Test cricket and ODI cricket.
With 6554 runs at 56.50, they were like born to play together. Both equally elegant, using the left-right combination to great effect and running beautifully between the wickets having a great understanding, Mahela and Sanga used to strategize beautifully in the middle and were actually the architects of many great Sri Lankan victories.
