At a time when most sporting events around the world are on hold due to the coronavirus pandemic, sportspersons are doing all they can to keep themselves busy. India cricket captain Virat Kohli held an 'Instagram Live' with England star Kevin Pietersen on Thursday, while Ravindra Jadeja showed off his horse-riding skills. British cricket stars are known to have a soft spot for golf and many play the sport in their free time and Scotland's wicketkeeper batsman Matthew Cross seems to be no different.
The 27-year-old blew Twitter away on Thursday when he posted a Tik Tok video of his golf trick shot. The shot not only showed his talent with the golf club in hand but also his footy skills.
