Rahkeem Cornwall is counted as the heaviest cricketer in the world. Despite this, he has taken many brilliant catches and has also shown his skills in batting along with bowling. However, in a match of this Caribbean Premier League, he made a big mistake and while trying to catch the ball, he narrowly escaped colliding with his teammate and the ball fell on the ground. The video of which is going viral on social media.
Actually, a match was played between Barbados Royals and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the CPL. In this match, Obed McCoy was bowling the 16th over of the Falcons’ innings and Sam Billings was on strike. McCoy bowled a slower ball, which Billings could not understand and tried to play a big shot. But, the ball did not come completely on his bat and went high in the air.
To catch the ball, both Rovman Powell and Rakheem Cornwall ran towards mid-off and cover. Cornwall also reached the ball. Both tried to catch it, but both narrowly escaped collision and the ball slipped from Cornwall’s hands and fell down. After this, both kept staring at each other for some time.
Billings, who was batting on 56 at the time, could not take advantage of the opportunity and was dismissed after scoring just one run. Barbados Royals won the match by 10 runs via DLS.
