Veteran Sri Lankan cricketer Mahela Jayawardene became the 5th batsman to 12,000 runs in one-day internationals after smashing 118 in the 3rd ODI being played against India in Hyderabad.
Mahela moved to 12,000 ODI runs with a push off a straight ball to cover to become only the fifth man and third Sri Lankan to do it.
Earlier, the strokemaker scored his 17th hundred and fourth against India in ODIs as Sri Lanka reach 181/7 in 39.2 overs.
The former captain was key to Sri Lanka reaching a decent total in Hyderabad after comprehensive losses in the first two ODIs in Cuttack and Ahmedabad.
Akshar Patel removes skipper Angelo Mathews for 10 while Indian captain Virat Kohli brought Rayudu in to bowl - the part timer struck in his first over to see off Dilshan for 53 and end his 105-run stand with Jayawardene for the third wicket.
