New Zealand pacer Trent Boult went for a sweep shot against Sri Lanka during the first Test match at Galle only to get the ball stuck on the helmet. The on-going Test match is taking place in Sri Lanka which started on Aug 14, 2019. This incident took place on Day 2 when Boult faced a delivery from Lasith Embuldeniya. Boult attempted a sweep where the ball took a top edge and got stuck into his helmet grill. When this happened Sri Lankan players started running here and there on the field for few seconds to search the ball, interestingly even Boult himself was initially not aware where exactly the ball was. The ball was taken out of the grill and the match resumed after checking Boult's condition. Let us see how Twitter reacts on this unbelievable cricketing incident.
