GALLE: Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah on Monday rekindled memories of Shane Warne’s ‘Ball of the Century‘ to dismiss Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis.
Shah produced this peach of delivery during the first Test against Sri Lanka at Galle. The delivery and the mode of dismissal were remarkably similar to the delivery Warne had produced to dismissing England’s Mike Gatting in 1993.
On Day three of the Test match during Sri Lanka’s second innings, Shah delivered an absolutely unplayable delivery that pitched well outside the leg stump and hit the top of the right-hand batter’s off stump after spinning unbelievably.

Mendis was left shell-shocked before walking back to the pavilion for a well-made 76.
The ball was a perfect tribute to Aussie legend Warne, who produced a pretty similar delivery back in 1993.
The late leg-spinner produced the unforgettable delivery during the first Test of the Ashes series against England at Manchester in 1993. The ball landed wide of leg stump but spun so much that it knocked over the off-stump of England batsman Mike Gatting.

Gatting stood at the crease in disbelief and it took him a couple of minutes to process what had actually happened to him.
The legendary Warne died earlier this year in March to leave the cricketing world shell-shocked.
