A video featuring a dancer who closely resembles legendary Sri Lankan spinner Muttiah Muralitharan has gone viral on social media. In the video, the dancer is seen grooving to the popular song ‘Tauba Tauba’, featuring actor Vicky Kaushal from the film ‘Bad Newz’. The video quickly gained popularity, with many social media users believing it was Muralitharan himself dancing. However, the dancer in the video is actually a choreographer named Kiran, who received widespread praise for his dance moves and the video’s execution.

Chasing a modest target of 138, the hosts had a strong start with openers Pathum Nissanka and Kusal Mendis forming a 58-run partnership for the first wicket.
Spinner Ravi Bishnoi broke the opening stand in the ninth over. Kusal Perera joined Kusal Mendis and they built another substantial partnership of 52 runs, setting the stage for what seemed like an easy win. However, Bishnoi struck again, removing Mendis (43) in the 16th over.

In a surprising move, Suryakumar Yadav bowled the final over, needing to defend six runs. Remarkably, he restricted Sri Lanka to 137/8, matching India’s total and sending the match into a Super Over.
In the Super Over, Washington Sundar dismissed both Kusal Perera and Pathum Nissanka, limiting Sri Lanka to 2/2 in 0.3 overs. In reply, Suryakumar hit a boundary off the first ball of Maheesh Theekshana’s Super Over, securing the series for India.
