Butterfingers? Watch Club Cricketers Make A Mess Of Runout Chances

Known to be a ‘Gentleman’s Game’, cricket is among the most beloved sports across the globe, drawing millions of fans who follow every major tournament throughout the year. While playing professional cricket requires a lot of hard work, practice, determination, and focus, there are also a lot of hilarious moments that spontaneously take place during the game, leaving everyone, including the players, in splits. From individuals making funny remarks on-field to cricketers doing funny stunts, these moments never fail to tickle the viewers’ funny bones.

A ‘comedy of errors’ from the ground has recently caught the internet’s attention, showing the fielders’ desperate attempt to hit the wicket. Shared on the X handle of Out of Context Cricket, the video has been captured from a cricket match. As the batsman hits the ball and instantly goes for a run, the wicketkeeper ends up throwing the ball far from the wicket. As soon as the ball comes around, it again goes for a trip for a second time, giving the batsmen more chances to make more runs.

This goes on a couple of times more, allowing the batting end to score at least six runs while the other side struggles to take control of the ball.

At the end of the never-ending struggle, the bowlers finally managed to take a wicket. However, their reaction says it all as the players leave the ground with big smiles on their faces, completely enjoying the moment. Details about the match remain unclear.

As soon as the video was shared, social media users wasted no time reacting and dropping funny responses. A user wrote, “Can’t stop laughing,” while another commented, “Gully cricket is better .”

“Great running between the wickets,” a user joked, while another remarked, “They ran a sixer.”

The video has garnered nearly 3,00,000 views, along with more than 2,000 likes and several comments. The video has been reshared 200 times on the microblogging platform. Notably, this is not the only cricket-related video that has left internet users laughing. Another video went viral a few weeks ago, in which three batters were spotted on the pitch due to fielding confusion.

In the video, as the fielding team misses a run-out chance, allowing the batters to continue to take runs, a third batter walks onto the pitch. The clip shows the batter encouraging his teammates to take the runs while the fielders create an even more confusing situation.
