A video has gone viral on social media featuring a dancer who looks extremely similar to legendary Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan. In the video, the dancer was seen dancing to the famous song “Tauba Tauba”, featuring actress Vicky Kaushal, from the film “Bad Newz”. The video quickly gained popularity among social media users and many of them were convinced that it was indeed Muralitharan who could be seen shaking his leg. However, the dancer in the video was not Muralitharan and was actually a choreographer named Kiran. He received a lot of praise for his dance moves and the execution of the video.

Meanwhile, Rinku Singh and Suryakumar Yadav’s late bowling efforts combined with Washington Sunder’s Super Over show helped India beat Sri Lanka in the third T20I.

Chasing a sub-par 138, the hosts got off to a brilliant start with openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis putting up a 58-run partnership for the first wicket.

Spinner Ravi Bishnoi broke the opening position in the ninth over. Kusal Perera joined Mendis in the middle and put on another great 52-run partnership to lay the foundation for a comfortable win. However, Bishnoi once again gave the hosts a scare by eliminating Mendis (43) in the 16th minute.

At that time, Sri Lanka needed 28 runs from 28 balls. But things took a left turn for the hosts as their batting faltered painfully and were reduced to 132/6 in 19 overs. Rinku Singh took two wickets, including the scalp of Perera (46) in the penultimate over of the innings, which was the first of the match.

In the final, surprisingly Suryakumar saved six runs in six balls. Surprisingly, he did wonders and restricted Sri Lanka to 137/8, the exact total India posted to level the match.

The match went to the Super Over in which Washington Sundar dismissed Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka to restrict Sri Lanka to 2/2 in 0.3 overs.

In response, Suryakumar hit a boundary off the first ball in Maheesh Theekshana’s Super Over to remain unbeaten in the series.
