Bizarre things happen in sports. Same is with cricket. Sometimes such incidents occur which is strange and hilarious at the same time. In a video that is going viral on social media, one such incident occurs. The incident is from Indian Street Premier League. In the video it can be seen that a batter hits a powerful shot towards mid-wicket, but what follows is just stunning. The fielder stationed at the boundary saves a sure-shot four by leaping in the air and keeping the ball inside the boundary line. However, that was not the end of the story. The fielder comes back and throws the ball towards the bowler.
In an attempt to run out one of the batters, the bowler throws the ball so hard that it races to the boundary. By then, the batters had run two. Thanks to the bowlers inept act, six runs are conceded (four byes + two runs).
Saved a boundary but ended up conceding a SIX!!!!!!
