4,4,4: Afridi trembled in front of Mendis, Sri Lankan batsman made fun of Paes; watch video

 

The eighth match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 is being played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan (SL vs PAK) at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad, where Kusal Mendis gave a tough time to the Pakistani bowlers. Played a stormy century innings of 122 runs hitting 14 fours and 6 sixes in 77 balls. In this match, Kusal Mendis did not respect any bowler of Pakistan and hit a lot of fours and sixes against everyone.

Meanwhile, Mendis did not spare Shaheen Shah Afridi and hit three fours one after the other on his fiery balls. This incident happened in the 25th over of the innings of the Sri Lankan team. On the very second ball of Shaheen's over, Mendis hit a four by playing a cut shot over backward points. After this, on the next ball of the same over, Mendis hit a four over third man, but here the Pakistani fielder had half a chance to catch a catch somewhere. Although he could not catch the catch.

Let us tell you that Kusal Mendis did not stop here and after this, he once again hit a four on Shaheen's fourth ball which was delivered on the off side with a late cut at backward point. This shot of Mendis was showing his class and also telling that he is not at all afraid of the pace of Pakistani bowlers and can score a lot of runs by using their strength as his strength.

For information, let us tell you that Mendis had completed his century in 65 balls in this match. This is the fastest century scored by any Sri Lankan batsman in the ODI World Cup. In this matter, he broke the record of former captain Kumar Sangakkara, who had scored a century in 70 balls against England in the 2015 World Cup match in Wellington.
