Note :

1. If a site has been removed using Remove-SPSite by SharePoint Admin guys, then SPDeleteSite can't find your site.
2. The Remove-SPSite cmdlet completely deletes an existing site collection and all subsites. This operation cannot be undone.
3. So if you  try to restore same site using the powershell Get-SPDeletedSite command, will fail and can't restore the site.
