Both Wicketkeepers scored a century in the same One day international



The match at Lord's on May 31 2014, when Kumar Sangakkara made 112 for Sri Lanka and Jos Buttler replied with brilliant 121 for England actually provided 5th instance of both wicketkeepers scoring hundreds in the same one-day international. Kumar Sangakkara was involved in two of those as well:

  1. Against India in Jaipur in October 2005, Kumar Sangakkara made 138 not out and MS Dhoni 183 not out
  2. Then against South Africa in Johannesburg in January 2012 Kumar Sangakkara scored 102 and AB de Villiers 125 not out.
  3. In Harare in August 2007 de Villiers made 107 for South Africa and Tatenda Taibu 107 not out for Zimbabwe,
  4. In a World Cup qualifier in Lincoln in New Zealand Wesley Barresi of the Netherlands smacked 137 not out and Irfan Karim 108 for Kenya.
