This Sri Lankan pair will be remembered for bringing the revolution of using the field restrictions. Jayasuriya was far the main contributor, whereas Kaluwithana played a supporting role. These both scored at an average of 31.05 only but the pace with which they used to begin the innings was lightening. In the 105 innings opened, they contributed 3230 runs which included 6 Century and 19 Half-Century partnerships with a best of 129.   ipl schedule 2017 download pdf
