Mumbai: On Day 2 of the first test between Sri Lanka and New Zealand, a very funny incident took place. Trent Boult, while trying to paddle sweep a delivery from spinner Lasith Embuldeniya, found a leading edge as the ball got trapped inside his own helmet.
What made this incident hilarious is that after it had taken place, Boult tried to run away from the Sri Lankan fielders as they circled him and tried to get the ball. Everyone had a good laugh after this incident and even the commentators joined in on the fun.
Here’s the video.
