SYDNEY: Former Australian wicketkeeper-batsman Adam Gilchrist has described the Ravichandran Ashwin’s delivery to Hashim Amla, which uprooted the off stump during the second semifinal of ICC World T20 on Friday, as ‘T20 ball of the century’.
Hashim Amla, who was looking dangerous, was sent packing by Ashwin on a brilliant carom ball, which landed on the leg but crashed into the off stump.
"T20 ball of the century from Ashwin," Gilchrist tweeted.
Ashwin received huge applause for this particular delivery. He received comparison with legendary spinner Shane Warne’s ‘Ball of the Century’ to Mike getting.
Ashwin took 3 for 22 against South Africa as India thrashed Proteas by six wickets to set the summit clash with Sri Lanka on Sunday.
Apart from Ashwin, Virat Kohli played superb knock of 72 to guide India to final of ICC T20 World Cup.
