The fans are praising the fielding of the player who took a great catch near the boundary
In cricket it is not unusual to make great catches in the field, and a catch in the air near the boundary to dismiss the batsman can often change the outcome of the match. One such catch is now going viral on social media.
The fans are praising the fielding of the star who made a great catch near the boundary in a local tennis ball cricket match. A video shared by cricket historian Omkar Mankame on Twitter is currently being discussed among the fans.
The batter was aiming for a six and the fielder lost control of the ball on the boundary and the ball went high in the air as usual as it went outside the boundary line. But the lifted ball went out of bounds. The video shows the player jumping up in the air and kicking the ball with his feet, reminiscent of a bicycle kick in football, before hitting the ground.
