A video featuring a kid batting with a stump goes viral on social media
Cricket is a popular sport across the globe and is loved by people of every age group. Also, there is no dearth of cricket talent in the world, and often the clips of the people showing their extraordinary talent go viral on social media. Currently, a video has attracted the attention of many cricket fans and is widely being circulated on social media.
In the viral video, a kid of around five or six years can be seen hitting the ball all over the park like a pro. But it wasn’t the astounding shots played by the kid that became the focal point of discussion in the cricket fraternity. What amazed many cricket enthusiasts is the fact that the small child made some eye-pleasing shots including drives, sweeps, ramps, scoop, and flicks with a stump.
Instead of the bat, the boy played the game of cricket with a single stump in his hand and managed to impress with his attractive strokeplay. The kid is seen practising on a cement surface, which gives him the opportunity to use the bounce from the surface and play his shots.
The stunning video was uploaded by the official Twitter handle of The Grade Cricketer with the caption, “We’ll start you in three’s and go from there mate”
