Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

This question asks about Sanath Jayasuriya scoring the most runs from boundaries in a single match. While Jayasuriya was known for aggressive batting and high boundary percentage, the claim of 'most runs in boundaries' in a single match is a specific record that would require verification against match records. Several players have scored centuries predominantly through boundaries. The question likely refers to a specific match or record, but without that context, the factual correctness cannot be independently verified.
