Watch: Shivam Mavi takes a blinder at extra cover to dismiss Charitha Asalanka

In the third and last T20I between India and Sri Lanka, Shivam Mavi took a magnificent catch to send back Charitha Asalanka. In the 10th over of the Lankan Lions’ innings, the left-hander, Asalanka played a lofted cut short over covers. Yuzvendra Chahal, who was bowling at the time slipped a half-tracker trying to get away from the left-hander’s hitting zone.

At one point, it looked like the ball is heading toward a boundary. However, India pacer, Mavi ran from deep point to deep cover and grabbed the ball while running. In what could have been a four, the right-arm pacer turned it into a wicket. With this, the Dasun Shanaka lost their fourth wicket inside 10 overs. The video is going viral on the internet.
