PAK vs SL: Watch - Maheesh Theekshana Reacts Angrily After Dasun Shanaka Denies Him DRS And Replay Declares Iftikhar Ahmed Out

Pakistan and Sri Lanka are currently facing off with each other in the Super Four game of the Asia Cup 2023 at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Sri Lanka spinners in particular Maheesh Theekshana have troubled the opposition batters with their variations. The pitch has assisted them too and they have utilised the conditions well.

However, Maheesh Theekshana could’ve got another wicket but his skipper Dasun Shanaka denied him off the wicket. The mystery spinner was very confident as he struck Iftikhar Ahmed on the pads and pleaded to his captain to take the DRS. 

It was during the last ball of the 35th over when Maheesh Theekshana bowled up a seam-up delivery that nipped in and trapped Iftikhar Ahmed on the pads. The batter tried to sweep across the line and missed the ball. Keeper Kusal Mendis also didn’t look convinced as well as they opted against taking DRS. 

After bowling the over, Maheesh Theekshana went on the sidelines to get some treatment on his legs. As he was getting treatment, the big screen showed that the ball was hitting the leg stump, and had they taken the review, it would’ve been out. 

Watching that on the big screen, Maheesh Theekshana despite getting treatment showcased his anger as he was furious. He was clearly unhappy with his skipper Daun Shanaka. Here’s the video of the full incident:
