In a surprising turn of events during the ongoing Afghanistan versus Sri Lanka match, Angelo Mathews left everyone in awe as he recreated Suryakumar Yadav's famous lap shot. Naveen-ul-Haq bowled a delivery at a brisk 131.5 kmph, over the wicket and angling into the off-stump. What happened next was nothing short of remarkable.

Mathews, standing his ground on the back foot, skillfully maneuvered his body to get inside the line of the delivery, using the pace and angle provided by Naveen. He then played a shot that bore an uncanny resemblance to Suryakumar Yadav's trademark lap shot.

With a flick of his wrists, Mathews scooped the ball over the fine leg region, sending it sailing for a maximum. The shot traveled just 55 meters but the sheer audacity of it left fans and commentators in awe.

This unexpected six by Mathews not only added to Sri Lanka's score but also provided a thrilling moment in the match.
