So, during the 24th over of the Sri Lankan innings in the match, Indian spinner Kuldeep Yadav was seen bowling an amazing delivery, the video of which is rapidly going viral on social media. It can be seen in the video that the 5th ball of this over was bowled by Kuldeep outside the off stump.
Sri Lankan captain Charith Asalanka could not understand the turn of this ball and while trying to play a late cut, he got caught by Rohit Sharma standing at slip. Charith got caught in Kuldeep’s spin after scoring just 14 runs in the match and the bowler took an easy wicket.
