Karunaratne, a worried player before the start of the first Test against West Indies at Galle because of the lack of competitive cricket he had played since his last Test innings in May, came good to make two eye-catching contributions – 147 and 83 – to take his aggregate to 854 for the calendar year to be third behind England’s Joe Root (1455) and Rohit Sharma of India (906), both of whom have played nearly double the number of Tests Karunaratne has appeared in for the year, which is six.
