    "editor1": "<p><strong>SL vs PAK 1st test:<\/strong> The first test match being played between Sri Lanka and Pakistan is at an exciting point. After a mere 4-run gap between the two teams after the first innings, Sri Lanka have set a target of 342 runs against Pakistan to win the match. Amidst this, a superb delivery was witnessed on day 3 which is being termed by fans and commentators as the &#39;ball of the century&#39;.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This delivery, bowled by Pakistani spinner Yasir Shah, dazzled Sri Lankan batter Kusal Mendis. Mendis had scored 76 runs and was inching swiftly towards a century. However, in the 56th over of Sri Lanka&#39;s inning, a magical delivery was bowled, reminding the cricket world of the legendary Australian spinner Shane Warne.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>After this delivery by Yasir Shah pitched outside the leg stump, the ball took a sharp turn and went on to hit the top of off stump, dislodging the bails into the air. The unbelievable turn on the ball left everyone shell-shocked while the Pakistani bowler was roaring in joy. A video of the same has surfaced on social media which is being liked in numbers by the fans, some also terming it as the &#39;ball of the century&#39;.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\r\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Ball of the Century candidate<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nYasir Shah stunned Kusal Mendis with a stunning delivery which reminded the viewers of Shane Warne&rsquo;s &lsquo;Ball of the Century&rsquo;.<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/SLvPAK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#SLvPAK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/uMPcua7M5E\">pic.twitter.com\/uMPcua7M5E<\/a><\/p>\r\n&mdash; Sri Lanka Cricket (@OfficialSLC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialSLC\/status\/1549068850867494913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 18, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote>\r\n<script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\r\n\r\n<p>Shane Warne, the legendary Australian leg spinner and the second highest wicket-taker in test cricket history, had bowled the &#39;ball of the century&#39; on June 4, 1993, against English batter Mike Gatting.
