“Brett lee from 04 type stuff,” wrote another.
“That’s a thing of beauty. I loved the bowler’s apology,” wrote one more user tongue in cheek.
Cricket is currently on hold due to the COVID-19 pandemic which has brought the world to a standstill. It is clear that cricket buffs are missing the action on the pitch.
The BCCI is looking at a September 25 to November 1 window for the 13th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) and the board is clear that fan safety is the priority as pointed out by Sports Minister Kiren Rijiju, IANS had reported on Saturday.
