Richards achieved the feat as the West Indies’ captain. Sanath Jayasuriya (Sri Lanka) and Rohan Mustafa (UAE) are the other skippers with the double of a century and a four-for in an ODI.
Jayasuriya’s bowling figures of 4 for 39 are his second-best as Sri Lanka’s captain in ODIs. Overall, this is the fourth-best bowling figure by a Sri Lankan skipper. See where Jayasuriya ranks among the overall ODI wicket-takers for Sri Lanka, here.
