Day 1 of the third and the final Test between India and Sri Lanka at Feroz Shah Kotla saw an amusing wicket of Shikhar Dhawan after Suranga Lakmal lost his shoe while chasing the ball, leading to an unusual catch.

After Indian skipper Virat Kohli electing to bat first after winning the toss, Dhawan scored just 23 off 35 deliveries before being dismissed by Dilruwan Perera.

In Delhi’s foggy conditions, the Sri Lankan pacer ran from his position to take the catch, but in doing so, somehow lost one of his shoes as well as his balance. However, Lakmal still managed to grab the ball before falling to the ground.

Lakmal’s unusual catch not only drew laughs from his teammates on the field but also Dhawan, who could be seen leaving the ground with a smiling face.

With a 1-0 series lead under their belt, India aims to continue its domination over Sri Lanka as winning this Test will see the hosts equal Australia’s record of nine successive series victories.

Here is the video of the dismissal:
