Top 10 ODI teams and the highest individual score by their wicket-keepers

#6 Sri Lanka - Kumar Sangakkara - 169 (137) vs South Africa, 2013

Sangakkara has retired from all forms of cricket

Kumar Sangakkara made history in the 2015 World Cup by becoming the first player in cricket history to hit 4 consecutive hundreds. But he played the best ODI knock of his career in 2013 when South Africa toured the island nation. In the 1st match of the one-day series, South Africa elected to bowl first after winning the toss. Dilshan and Tharanga provided a stable start to Sri Lanka. However, it was the veteran wicket-keeper who helped his team post a 300+ total on the board.

Sangakkara scored 169 off 137 balls and hit 18 fours and 6 maximums as the South Africans failed to scalp his wicket until the 49th over. South Africa failed to match Sangakkara's score in the 2nd innings as they were bundled out for 140 enabling Lanka to a 180 runs win in the match.
