Watch: Kyle Verreynne takes blinders to eliminate Kamindu Mendis in second test


South Africa national cricket team wicketkeeper Kyle Verreynne put in a fine effort behind the stumps in the ongoing second test against the Sri Lanka national cricket team. The match between the two teams will take place at St George’s Park in Gqeberha.

The South African national cricket team is currently at the top of its game. They have dominated the opposition with bat and ball and are marching towards victory in the second game of the series, after having dominated the first game of the series.

The South African players have put on a show with the ball in the ongoing second innings against Sri Lanka.

The South African bowlers have put on a show with the ball, but they have also received the same support from the fielders. One of the efforts came from Kyle Verreynne to remove Sri Lanka National Cricket Team’s leading batsman Kamindu Mendis off Keshav Maharaj’s delivery.

Keshav Maharaj bowled a pitched ball outside off. The ball hit the toes and bounced as Kamindu Mendis advanced defensively. He got a thick inside edge on the pad, and then the ball pitched up, looking like it would land safely.

However, Kyle Verreynne came up with the magical effort behind the stumps. He came up with the precise catch to send the Sri Lanka National Cricket Team batsman packing his bags. He, along with the entire South African national cricket team, was very happy.
