"In Gully Cricket...": Sachin Tendulkar's Cheeky Remark On Unfortunate Dismissal Of Henry Nicholls
The ongoing third Test between England and New Zealand witnessed a bizarre dismissal on Thursday. Kiwi batter Henry Nicholls came down the track to hit a half volley from Jack Leach for a four down the ground but his shot inadvertently went straight towards Daryl Mitchell at the non-strikers end, hit his bat and eventually went into the hands of mid-off fielder Alex Lees. While the entire England team erupted in joy with the lucky wicket, the unfortunate dismissal also gave netizens a good time.
Former India cricketer Sachin Tendulkar was also among the ones reacting to the video. Sharing his views on the dismissal, Tendulkar joked that in "gully cricket", the non-striker batter would have been declared out instead of the batter on strike.
"In gully cricket, we'd declare the non-striker out," said the cricket veteran with a zany face emoji.
