On Saturday (May 22), Zimbabwe cricketer Ryan Burl left the cricket world heartbroken after sharing a picture of his torn shoes.

Within 24 hours, Burl’s needs were met as sports brand Puma Cricket offered to sponsor him.
Reacting to Burl’s viral post, Puma Cricket’s official account asked the cricketer to take the glue away. Minutes later, the all-rounder confirmed signing a contract with the prominent sports brand. Notably, many cricket fans across the globe offered support to Burl after coming across his post.
