#2 Sanath Jayasuriya 189 (2000)
Yet another Sri Lankan on the list. The dynamic batsman from Sri Lanka, Sanath Jayasuriya is one of the most feared batsmen of all time.
Known for his attacking style of play, Jayasuriya had the potential to change the face of a game in just a few overs.
In 2000, India and Sri Lanka met at Sharjah for the final of Coca Cola cup which to this date remains on the most shambolic performances by an Indian side in ODI history. Batting first Sri Lanka posted 299-5 as Sanath Jayasuriya scored a career-best 189 in the coca cola cup final. India came out with a target of 300 in mind and completely fell apart.
Bowled out for mere 54 runs, Sri Lanka won the match by 245 to take home the coca cola cup trophy. Jayasuriya's heroic innings got him the man of the match award and the 2nd position on this list.
