Sri Lankan batsman Kamindu Mendis has made history by becoming the fourth cricketer to reach 1,000 runs in just 13 Test innings. The 25-year-old achieved this milestone with an unbeaten 182 against New Zealand in Galle, making him equal third-fastest to reach this mark alongside cricket legend Don Bradman. Mendis has also made five Test centuries in just 13 innings, tying him with Bradman and George Headley of the West Indies. His impressive performance in the ongoing Test series against New Zealand, where he formed a 200-run partnership with Kusal Mendis, has solidified his reputation as a key player for Sri Lanka. Mendis has been in excellent form this year, being the highest run-scorer in the series against Bangladesh and England. His outstanding achievement in the second Test match against New Zealand adds to his growing list of accomplishments in a relatively short career. Sri Lanka’s victory in the first Test against New Zealand was largely credited to Mendis, who was the only player to make a century in the game. With his remarkable talent and consistency, fans and experts are eagerly watching Mendis as he continues to make his mark in international cricket.
