Jayasuriya's factor

Sanath Jayasuriya did top-score in the highest Test total (340 out of 952 for 6 dec against India at the Premadasa Stadium in Colombo in 1997-98), the highest in ODIs (157 out of 443 for 9 against Netherlands at Amstelveen in 2006) and Twenty20 internationals (88 out of 260 for 6 against Kenya at Johannesburg in 2007-08). The only other player to play in all three of those games was Mahela Jayawardene (the first one was his Test debut). Of others who might have played in all three, Chaminda Vaas did not play in the ODI record, and Muttiah Muralitharan missed both the ODI and Twenty20 games. And yes, it's obviously unique - Sri Lanka have held the Test record all the time Twenty20 internationals have been played, so no one else has had a chance for a look-in!
