The Pakistani fans are enjoying another exciting season of Pakistan Super League. On March 4, Islamabad United locked horns with Peshawar Zalmi. In that match, United played exceptionally well. But in the second innings, when Peshawar Zalmi was batting, a brilliant catch by a ballboy grabbed the limelight.
The Dream Moment of the Ball-Boy:
The big moment happened in the 7th over of the second innings when Peshawar Zalmi was batting. In a spectacular display of cricketing prowess, Faheem Ashraf delivered a short-of-length delivery directly on the stumps. Seizing the opportunity, Aamer Jamal executed a flick that resulted in a massive top-edge. To the astonishment of the players and spectators alike, the ball soared through the air and landed beyond the boundary, securing a six for Aamer Jamal. However, the unexpected turn of events didn’t end there.
Remarkably, the top edge proved so powerful that it eluded the fielders and even reached the ballboy. In an amusing twist, the ballboy experienced a momentary fumble, dropping the ball. Munro, ever the good sport, seized the chance to share a light-hearted moment with the ballboy, offering a quick hug and even imparting some playful catching advice.
As the camera turned its focus on Munro, the ballboy, fully embracing the limelight, responded by blowing kisses, turning a simple catch into an entertaining spectacle. The camaraderie between the players and the ballboy added an extra layer of joy to the game, showcasing the lighter side of cricket.
