Veteran off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was bowling the 3rd over of the third innings of the match and he tossed up the ball around off-stump and the Sri Lanka opener Thirimanne came forward to defend but the ball spun away to take the outside edge and India skipper Rohit Sharma dived low to his right to grab a stunning catch.
