WATCH | Worst shot in cricket history? Chamara Silva's outrageous shot will leave you laughing

With T20 on the rise, Cricket has seen many new shots being invented in recent days. But Sri Lanka batsman Chamara Silva's attempt takes the cake.

Silva became a laughing stock on social media after his failed attempt to play a bizarre shot. The incident took place during a match between MAS Unichela and Teejay Lanka at P Sara Oval in Colombo.

Silva went behind the stumps and swung the bat to play a pull shot but it seemed he forgot he could get out bowled too.
