A hilarious incident took place during a European Cricket Series game as a player was hit on the crotch while running between the wickets. After hitting the ball towards the wide mid-on region, the batters managed to take a single. However, due to a misfield, the ball ended up in the cow corner region, allowing the batters to collect two more runs. The batter, who had hit the ball, ended up on the non-striker's end after completing three runs with his teammate. However, he was in for an unexpected blow as the fielder's throw, from cow-corner region, ended up hitting him in the crotch and left him in pain.
The commentators, however, couldn't control their laughter and were spotted rolling on the floor for nearly two minutes, following the incident.Â
