Sri Lanka who made a clean win in the three-match T20I series registered a good bowling figure of 4-0-21-3. It was spinner Wanidu Hasaranga, who was the star player of the match. He took eight batsmen at an average of 9.87 with a strike rate of 9 and finished the series. 

By the end of the game, Hasaranga was awarded the Man of the Match and Man of the Series awards. 

What caught everyone's eye was during the presentation ceremony; where former Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, was hosting the presentation. When Hasaranga was accompanied by Asantha de Mel Sri Lanka chief selector (as a translator), Ramiz Raja praised the bowler stating that "Fantastic performance" and asked him "is this the best you have ever bowled?". 

To which, Hasaranga replied saying, "Yes", after which the translator was heard saying, "yes this is his best performance". 

Ramiz Raja, who is also know to be a witty and humorous person was seen making a hilarious gesture, saying "yes, this was understood quiet nicely."

Apparently, Hasaranga isn't fluent in English, so Ramiz asked Sri Lankan chief selector to act as a translator for the cricketer. 

Within minutes this video went viral on social media that even made cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin to leave a comment on it.
