153 not out: Kusal Perera, Sri Lanka v South Africa, Durban, 2019 | Sri Lanka trailed by 78 runs, looking for only their second win in 14 Tests in South Africa, when their ninth wicket fell on the fourth day of the first Test against the Proteas. But left-handed Perera, in at number five, held off South Africa's powerful attack to hit 153 not out, including 12 fours and five sixes. A career best for Perera, who faced 69 balls out of 96 balls during his partnership with Vishwa Fernando, scored 67 of his runs in an unbeaten last-wicket stand. It was the highest last-wicket stand in a successful fourth-innings chase in first-class cricket. 'It was a superman effort,' said South Africa captain Faf du Plessis. (Photo | AFP)
