Mathews’ legend test career

Mathews’s Test career has been excellent. Mathews has scored 8214 runs in 119 Tests for Sri Lanka. Mathews is the third highest run -scorer for Sri Lanka in Test cricket. More runs than Mathews, two great Sri Lankan players Kumar Sangakkara and Mahela Jayawardene have scored. Sangakkara has scored 12,400 in 134 matches and Jayawardene has scored 11,814 runs in 149 matches.

Mathews has also taken 33 wickets in the Test. Mathews has scored 45 half -centuries and 16 centuries in his Test career. Mathews made his Test debut against Pakistan in 2009 at Galle Maidan. Mathews has now also played his last Test match on Galle ground. Let me tell you that Mathews became the youngest Test captain for Sri Lanka in 2013. Matthews still has that record. Mathews became captain in the Tests at the age of only 25 years and 279 days.
