Pakistan leg-spinner Yasir Shah has bowled one of the best deliveries to dismiss Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis.

The first Test between Pakistan and Sri Lanka is underway at Galle, with the hosts leading over 200. Pakistan needed a wicket as Mendis was going strong; Yasir came up with a delivery that probably no other batter would have coped up with.

It was a length ball that drifted in and pitched outside leg before spinning away sharply, squaring Mendis up as he looked to defend it to knock the off stump back. 

 

Ball of the century nomination please!

Many netizens also made similarities to late Shane Warne's ball of the century to Mike Gatting in 1994. 

It must be noted Yasir is making a comeback in the Test side; He bagged two wickets in the first innings, whereas he claimed three in the second innings.
