The European Cricket series continues to provide us with hilarious moments that village cricketers can relate too.During this funny clip, Shaikat of the Indian Royals hits the ball into the leg-side and the fielder mis-fields it.The batsmen then scamper through for a third run, the throw comes in, bounces off the turf and hits the batter in a very unfortunate part of the body.The commentators burst into fits of laughter and their reactions make the clip even funnier.Struggling to contain himself, one of the commentators says: âOhh, heâs taken it in the gonads.âThe footage then cuts to the two commentators for a replay of their reactions when the moment happened and their reactions are brilliant.âHeâs having the worst game of his life. Iâm done! Thatâs the best thing Iâve ever seen in my life!âHe runs 66 yards and hereâs his rewardâ
The commentators are still laughing about the moment two minutes later, struggling to contain themselves and finding it difficult to concentrate on the match.
It is reminiscent of when Alex Hales got struck in the groin twice by Reece Topley during last yearâs match between Trent Rockets and Oval Invincibles in the Hundred competition.
To make matters worse, the unfortunate batsman skies the next delivery into the air and is caught by a fielder.
Brothers XI Portugal went on to win the game via the D/L method so it wasnât a very good day at the office for Shaikat and the Indian Royals.
