DUBAI: Spinner Maheesh Theekshana lived up to his reputation of being a specialist in the Powerplay on Tuesday. He landed Sri Lanka's first blow when he deceived KL Rahul, yorking the opener in front of the stumps in the second over of the match.
Theekshana's unconventional brand of off-spin is the talk of the town. Interestingly, had it not been for a hamstring injury, he would have been a fast bowler.
