However, a video is doing rounds on social media where players are seen throwing punches and kicks at each other. In the shocking incident, a sledging banter between the batter and bowler culminated in a physical altercation.
The video going viral is from MCC Weekdays Bash XIX League in UAE. Aerovisa Cricket and Rabdan Cricket Club were locking horns in the fixture. The match took a wild turn after a bowler from Aerovia celebrated an important wicket aggressively. The celebration was meant to boost the morale of the team.
