Sri Lanka's Dunith Vellalaghe broke the back of the Indian batting order in the fourth match of Super 4 in Asia Cup 2023. He destroyed India's top order. He showed the way to the pavilion to 5 Indian batsmen. Apart from this, he also displayed excellent fielding on the field. He took a brilliant catch to dismiss Ishan Kishan. However, during this time, Hardik Pandya, standing at the non-striker end, became very angry.
Charit Asalanka, who came to bowl the 35th over of the Indian innings, bowled the second ball outside off. Kishan tried to hit this ball hard and it seemed that it would go over the cover fielder. However, Dunith Vellalaghe displayed excellent fielding. He jumped at the right time and took a brilliant catch. Hardik Pandya, standing at the non-striker end, looked very angry. It seemed like the all-rounder was unhappy with Kishan's shot selection.
