Sri Lanka’s young batting all-rounder, Shehan Jayasuriya took an unbelievable catch against the West Indies in the second T20I – to dismiss Rovman Powell. Jayasuriya pulled off a blinder on the boundary ropes as he not only took the catch but also saved a certain boundary for his team.

He stunned the spectators with his catch as it was a thing of beauty which he controlled magically with amazing sharp reflexes owing to his sheer concentration.

However, his effort went in vain as Sri Lanka lost the match and the series after having lost the first game of the two-match series as well.

Shehan Jayasuriya Pulls Off Blinder To Dismiss Rovman Powell:

It was in the 13th over of the game that Jayasuriya portrayed his magic. Powell dispatched a slower ball from Dashun Shanaka towards the deep square leg boundary – and Jayasuriya had charged in very early but he realized it in time and pulled off an absolute blinder while running backwards.
