That may be THE GREATEST Test innings by a Sri Lankan ever. Rockstar attack to face down. Impossible odds. Fourth innings. Away from home. Batting with the tail. Belief. Determination. Skill. Smarts. Those ridiculous sixes. It ticks every single box. Kusal Perera. Tweet added by Andrew Fidel Fernando @afidelf

On the incredible odds Kusal Perera overcame as he played one of the greatest Test innings of all time.

Kusal Perera bats with body, heart and soul in innings of a lifetime

Against one of Test cricket's most fearsome attacks on home soil, Sri Lanka's No. 5 stood up for his embattled team

@afidelf Weird to have a superpower origin story of getting hit in the head in Canberra, but it's working

@afidelf 1985 Kandy - That partnership between Roy Dias & Duleep Mendis would challenge this. 1985 Sri Lanka had different ambitions. Hard to argue against Kingsmead 2019, though! #SLvSA #SAvSL #SriLanka #SouthAfrica #cricket

@afidelf And one of the greatest ever, overall. I'm a neutral but am seriously considering getting Perera's face tattooed on to mine.

@afidelf This is better than Lara's 153. I can hardly think of any other test inning that comes close. Gooch's 120 odd in a 180 all-out against mighty WI was close enough.

@afidelf @Vitu_E Hitting sixes to Steyn and Rabada is unthinkable at such pressure moments..any world-class player would have been happy to take singles or odd boundary at such situation #SAvSL
