Umran Malik's peach of a delivery sends Maheesh Theekshana's stump cartwheeling - Watch

Team India clinched the T20I series vs Sri Lanka on Saturday after earning a 91-run victory in the series finale in Rajkot. The Men in Blue set a giant target of 229 runs for Sri Lanka, courtesy of Suryakumar Yadav’s unbeaten century, and then bowled out the opposition on 137 runs in the second innings to win the match. While Arshdeep Singh returned with the best figures of 3/20 in 2.4 overs, his fellow pacer Umran Malik also notched up two wickets. 

Having dismissed Lankan allrounder Wanindu Hasaranga in the 13th over, Umran provided a treat to the fans present at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium by uprooting Maheesh Theekshana’s stumps in the 16th over. Bowling the third delivery of the over, the 23-year-old delivered a length ball on the off side at a speed of 146 kph. As Theekshana looked to go forward for playing the shot, he ended up getting beaten.
