LPL 2024 | Twitter reacts as Dilshan Madhushanka has the last laugh and gives a fiery send-off to Dickwella

07/14/2024

In the game of cricket, emotions often reach a boiling point, especially when a bowler takes a wicket and channels that intensity into a send-off. Such a moment unfolded in the LPL match where Dilshan Madhushanka was seen giving an impassioned send-off to the in-form Niroshan Dickwella.

‌Empty stands at the R. Premadasa Stadium set the stage for another clash in the Lanka Premier League as the Dambulla Sixers took on the Galle Marvels. The Sixers won the toss and chose to bowl first, a decision that backfired early on. Galle Marvels' openers Niroshan Dickwella and Alex Hales got off to a flying start cruising to 39/0 in just four overs. However, the breakthrough came from Dambulla’s speedster Dilshan Madhushanka who dismissed the Galle skipper and sparked a heated send-off.

On the fifth ball of the fifth over, Madhushanka delivered a full-length ball around the off stump. Dickwella attempted to paddle it over the fine leg for a big hit, but his timing was off. The ball soared towards deep backward square leg, where Ibrahim Zadran was positioned. The Afghan fielder made no mistake taking a straightforward catch as Dickwella began his slow walk back to the pavilion.

As Dickwella trudged off, a fired-up Madhushanka gestured towards the dressing room, raising his hand. His animated send-off included some choice words, showcasing his intense emotions after claiming the crucial wicket. This moment of raw passion ignited a flurry of reactions on Twitter, with fans buzzing about the dramatic exchange.
