Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Unfortunately, he got the chance to represent his country in only four Tests. The last of them coming against England at Lord's in 1991. Kuruppu though, was more of a regular member of the ODI side. He shone brightly particularly in the 1983 World Cup by composing a couple of fifties. Interestingly, despite scoring the slowest double century in First-Class cricket, Kuruppu was known more as a dasher with the bat in hand.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Greatness was firmly thrust upon Sri Lankan wicketkeeper-opener Brendon Kuruppu, but only for a day or two, as he became only the third person to score a double-century on his Test debut, against New Zealand - Richard Hadlee and all - in Colombo. Kuruppu did it the hard way too: his 777-minute innings is the slowest double-hundred in first-class history, all very out of character for a man who later made his reputation as a one-day slogger. It was his first first-class century, and his last Test century: Kuruppu only played four Tests, two of them in England, in 1988 and 1991.
