Sri Lanka captain Dasun Shanaka led the side from the front as the host restricted India to 81 runs in the final T20I at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. Shanaka grabbed two outstanding catches and also chipped in with two wickets while Wanindu Hasarange picked four wickets.
After the caught and bowled, the Sri Lankan captain picked another stunning catch. This time it was his right hand that gobbles up the catch. Bhuvneshwar Kumar had to provide some impetus to the innings and he goes looking for a big shot. He made room and tried to go over the cover.
However, he did not get the elevation as Dashun Shanaka leaps to his right and snatches it with one hand. The ball was traveling and Shanaka was close-in, hence making it a special catch.

Wanindu Hasaranga runs down the Indian batting order
The Men in Blue were on the back foot right from the start, losing Dhawan in the very first over. And the young, inexperienced batting line-up failed to handle the spin and guile of the Sri Lankan bowlers. Only three batsmen got into double digits and Kuldeep Yadav was the top-scorer, his knock ensuring India went past their lowest T20 total.
Hasaranga recorded 4/9 while Dasun Shanaka picked two wickets as they bowl out India were 81 runs – their lowest against Sri Lanka in T20Is.
