SA vs SL | Twitter abuzz as Kyle Verreynne's bold stance and daring strokeplay deliver a stunning century

South Africa had a steady first day, driven by Ryan Rickelton’s century and Temba Bavuma’s gritty 78 off 109 balls. However, the hosts lost wickets at regular intervals, with Lahiru Kumara claiming an impressive three-wicket haul. On the second day, Kyle Verreynne and Kagiso Rabada provided a vital partnership, adding 55 runs to take the scoreboard to 324/8 in 100 overs. Verreynne stood out with his remarkable half-century off 95 balls, gaining attention for his unorthodox batting stance.

The highlight of the innings came when the 27-year-old reached his century in style by dispatching a short delivery from Asitha Fernando for a massive six. On the fifth ball of the 103rd over, Fernando bowled a short-of-a-length ball on the stumps. Verreynne, employing his unique stance, made room for himself and launched the ball over deep backward square. The perfectly timed shot soared over the boundary, bringing up his ton in spectacular fashion. As the ball cleared the ropes, he sprinted with arms wide open, savouring the moment. His century and unconventional approach garnered widespread praise on social media with Twitterverse talking about it.
