Sri Lanka has set a big target of 375 runs to win against the West Indies in the first Test match. Along with the legendary batsmen, 22-year-old Patum Nisanka has also contributed to bringing the Sri Lankan team to this level in the match. Patum Nisanka has made headlines by scoring a century in a debut Test match for Sri Lanka.

Thilan Samaraweera did this work for Sri Lanka before Nisanka. However, he achieved this feat 20 years ago in the Colombo Test against India in 2001 by scoring 103 runs. Mahela Jayawardene and Kumar Sangakkara, the two biggest batsmen of Sri Lanka cricket, could not achieve this feat.

He has 3445 runs in 59 innings of first-class cricket, including 13 centuries and 13 half-centuries.
