5 players with the most Test centuries in 2018

#4 Kusal Mendis (Sri Lanka) - 3 centuries

A name which many of the cricket fans would not have expected to feature on this list, Kusal Mendis emerged as the best batsman for Sri Lanka in Test matches of 2018. His 1023 runs from 12 Tests made him the cornerstone of Sri Lankan batting in the longest format of the game.

Despite playing a lot of Test matches on home turf, Kusal Mendis could not score a single century playing in Sri Lanka. However, the right-handed batsman scored three centuries outside of Sri Lanka in 2018.

He started the year with a superb innings of 196 in Bangladesh, which was followed by a 102 in West Indies. Mendis ended the year with a fine innings of 141* in New Zealand, but his best efforts could not save Sri Lanka from losing the Test series against NZ.
