232 by Usman Khawaja is the third highest by a visiting batter in Sri Lanka behind Chris Gayle's 333 at the same venue in 2010 and Stephen Fleming's unbeaten 274 at Colombo PSS in 2003. The previous highest for Australia in the country was Justin Langer's 166 at Colombo SSC in 2004.

Highest individual scores by a visiting batter in Sri Lanka

Player Runs For Venue Season
C Gayle 333 WI Galle 2010/11
S Fleming 274* NZ Colombo (PSS) 2003
U Khawaja 232 Aus Galle 2024/25
J Root 228 Eng Galle 2020/21
B Lara 221 WI Colombo (SSC) 2001/02
Saud Shakeel 208* Pak Galle 2023
S Tendulkar 203 Ind Colombo (SSC) 2010

142 innings taken by Khawaja makes it the joint sixth longest in terms of innings batted for a maiden double century, alongside Graham Gooch. The only Australian to take longer to get to a maiden double century was Allan Border who took 159 innings to the feat. It is also Khawaja's highest score in all first class cricket going past 214 for New South Wales against South Australia in Adelaide in 2010/11 season.

At 38 years & 43 days, Khawaja is the third oldest player to score a double century in Asia behind Vinoo Mankad and Shivnarine Chanderpaul. The only Australian batter older than Khawaja to score a double hundred anywhere in Tests was Don Bradman, who hit two after turning 38.

2 Scores higher than Khawaja's 232 by Australian batters in Asia: 334* by Mark Taylor in Peshawar in 1998 and 235 by Greg Chappell in Faisalabad in 1980. The last visiting opener to score a double century in Asia was Alastair Cook (263) in Abu Dhabi in 2015 while the last to do in the sub-continent was Gayle in 2010.

5 hundreds scored by Khawaja in Asia is the second most by a visiting opener behind Cook's nine. He also becomes the first non-Asian opening batter to score hundreds in each of India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Matthew Hayden and Cook have also scored away centuries against India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka having scored hundreds against Pakistan in UAE.

21 - Josh Inglis became the 21st Australian to score a century on Test debut, surpassing 20 debut centurions from England at the top. At 29 years & 332 days, he is the third oldest Australia behind Adam Voges (35 y 243d) and Herbie Collins (32y 334d). He is the third Australian to do so in a Test in Asia after Michale Clarke (151 vs Ind, Bengaluru, 2004) and Shaun Marsh (141 vs SL, Pallekele, 2011).

90 balls taken by Inglis makes it the second fastest hundred by balls taken on debut by a batter (where ball by ball data available). The only player ahead of Inglis is Shikhar Dhawan who scored an 85-ball hundred against Australia in Mohali in 2013.

Fastest 100s on Test debut (balls faced)

Batter Balls taken Final score Against Venue Season
Shikhar Dhawan 85 187 Aus Mohali 2012/13
Josh Inglis 90 102 SL Galle 2024/25
Dwayne Smith 93 105* SA Cape Town 2003/04
Prithvi Shaw 99 134 WI Rajkot 2018/19

266 - The third wicket stand of 266 between Khawaja and Steven Smith is the third highest partnership for Australia for any wicket in Asia and the highest in Sri Lanka bettering 258 between Shaun Marsh and Michael Hussey in Pallekele in 2011. It also happens to be the third highest for any wicket against Sri Lanka in Sri Lanka and the highest from a non-Asian pair surpassing the 262-run third wicket stand between Kane Williamson and Ross Taylor at Colombo PSS in 2012.

Highest partnerships for Aus in SL

205 innings taken by Smith to 10,000 Test runs - the fifth fastest to the landmark in terms of innings batted. Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar, and Kumar Sangakkara reached the milestone in 195 innings each while Ponting reached there in 196 innings. Smith averages 56.33 currently and only Ponting (58.85) and Tendulkar (57.61) averaged more at the time of them getting to 10,000 runs (at the end of innings where they reached the milestone).

654/6declared by Australia is the highest total for them in Tests in Asia, surpassing 617 against Pakistan in Faisalabad in 1980, their only other 600+ total in these shores. It is also the second highest by a visiting team in Sri Lanaka behind India's 707 at Colombo SSC in 2010.

3 Sri Lankan bowlers conceded 180+ in this innings - 193 by Prabath Jayasuriya, 189 by Nishan Peiris, and 182 by Jeffrey Vandersay. It is only the second such instance in Tests after three Indian bowlers conceded 180+ against Sri Lanka at Colombo RPS when the home team made the record of 952/6 declared.

154 six-ball overs by Sri Lanka is the joint second most bowled by a team where they used just four bowlers. Pakistan bowled 167.5 overs against South Africa in Rawalpindi in 1997 is the highest while Pakistan also bowled 154 overs against Australia in Sydney in 1984.
