Everything Dunith Wellalage is touching is turning into gold in the ongoing Super Four game of the Asia Cup 2023 against India. The Sri Lankan spinner has changed the complexion of the game with his staggering effort in the important game of the tournament.
Dunith Wellalage has wreaked havoc across the Indian batting lineup after a sensational 80-run opening stand between skipper Rohit Sharma (53) and Shubman Gill (19). The Sri Lanka spinner tilted the game in his team’s favor and picked wickets in a flash.
However, not only with the ball, Dunith Wellalage stepped up in the field as well and plucked a sensational catch. His effort saw Ishan Kishan back in the hut after a decent knock. The southpaw was undone by the brilliance of a Sri Lankan spinner in the field.
Charith Asalanka bowled a full delivery that was outside off. Ishan Kishan tried to smash it hard and it seemed that it would go over the cover fielder. But Dunith Wellalage produced a staggering effort. He timed his jump to perfection and plucked a stunner out of thin air.
As Dunith Wellalage took a blinder to send Ishan Kishan packing, Hardik Pandya at the non-striker’s end was furious. It seemed that the all-rounder was unhappy with the shot selection of the southpaw.

Dunith Wellalage has made a mockery of the Indian batters at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The Sri Lankan spinner has spun a web around the Indian batters and made them look clueless with the way he extracted turn from the surface.
Dunith Wellalage removed Shubman Gill first and then followed it with the wicket of Virat Kohli. If this was not enough he then went on to remove skipper Rohit Sharma along with KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya. He ended with the figures of 5/40 in his 10 overs.
