Yasir Shah, Pakistani leg spinner bowled a gem of a delivery to dismiss Samit Patel today. Patel was set on the crease and looked good for a good score before this delivery from Yasir Shah cleaned him up.
The delivery was a classical leg spinner delivery, having pitched outside the leg stump and turned significantly to hit the top of leg and middle stump. Samit was dismissed for 42 runs.
This delivery did resemble to Warne’s delivery, which he bowled to Mike Gatting and was voted as ‘ Ball of the Century’. However, the turn was a bit less in Yasir’s case.
