This happened during the bowling of Yuzvendra Chahal to give Team India its 9th wicket of the first ODI at Dambula.
Aiming for the big one, Malinga advanced down the pitch to face the Chahal’s delivery, however, acknowledging the opponent’s intentions, the spinner deliberately bowled an outside-off wide delivery. Dhoni didn’t miss out on the opportunity and dislodged the bails before Malinga could think of coming back in the crease, and Aila! that was it.
After this, the last Sri Lankan player Vishwa Fernando was easily packed off, India bundled out the hosts for 216.
