These days, it has become a common occurrence that batsmen hit bowlers for long and big sixes. In some cases, the ball lands in the gallery or outside the stadium.
When it drops among spectators, however, invariably they throw back the ball to the game. The ball is lost in most instances and replaced when it falls outside the boundaries.
But have you ever seen a person not returning a match and walking away with it, and that too with utter disdain?
The Tamil Nadu Premier League 2024 clash between Chepauk Super Gillies and Siechem Madurai Panthers at the NPR College Ground in Dindigul last Sunday will forever remain an unforgettable moment.
A round-the-wicket delivery by a pacer of Siechem Madurai Panthers to a left-handed batter of Chepauk Super Gillies was dispatched over mid-wicket fence after reading its length for one step out of crease.
Such was its timing that cameras even zoomed into ground looking for ball which went all the way out of ground.
But, as per cameras show, a local man wearing lungi and t shirt holds the ball. However much anyone thinks about anything else though this time he would keep the ball away from them simply because of his attitude towards players who have been sending him these balls for quite sometime now while he makes his way off with it shouting at them angrily as if sort of throwing tantrums towards ground still shouting at those people standing there so annoyingly again like really?
At another time, he lies on whatever charpoy without any care in his eyes.
In terms of results obtained within this match, Chepauk Super Gillies were beaten by Siechem Madurai Panthers by 9 runs.
