Watch: David Warner's brilliance in the field against Sri Lanka

After the completion of the T20I series, Australia played the first ODI match on their tour of Sri Lanka on Tuesday. In the match played at the Pallekele International Cricket Stadium, Sri Lanka won the toss and opted to bat first.

While fielding, David Warner pulled a stunning catch that caught everyone's attention. In the 26th over of the first innings, Ashton Agar bowled a full delivery to Dhananjaya de Silva, who tried to hit it between mid-wicket and mid-on. Warner, on the other hand, was very alert and ran to his right before leaping into the air to take the magnificent one-handed catch in his left hand.

Russell Arnold correctly pointed out in the commentary box that he watched the ball carefully and timed the jump properly. A video of David Warner's spectacular grab has gone viral on the internet.
