Dunith Wellalage scripts history, becomes youngest Sri Lankan spinner to bag five-for in ODI

Colombo [Sri Lanka]: Left-arm orthodox spinner Dunith Wellalage registered names in the golden history of Sri Lanka cricket against India in the Asia Cup Super Four clash on Tuesday.

Youngster Wellalage achieved a remarkable feat as he secured his maiden 5-wicket haul, single-handedly dismantling a formidable Indian batting lineup and bagging the wicket of top batters like Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Hardik Pandya.

With his exceptional spin magic, Wellalage became the youngest bowler to bag a five-wicket haul in the ODI at the age of 20 years 246 days.

He surpassed former right-arm pacer Charitha Buddhika who bagged a five-for at the age of 21 years 65 days against Zimbabwe in Sharjah in 2001.

Right-arm fast Thisara Perera holds the third place as he claimed a five-wicket haul against India in Dambulla, 2010 at the age of 21 year 141 days.
