145 - The unfinished fourth-wicket stand between Sourav Ganguly and Yuvraj Singh. It's the highest for that wicket for India versus Sri Lanka, beating the 128 that Rahul Dravid and Gautam Gambhir added at Ahmedabad in November 2005.

51.80 - The average partnership between Ganguly and Yuvraj. In 19 innings they have put together two century and four half-century stands

In the 17 innings during the current drought, Jayawardene has managed 314 at an average of 22.43.
