Man With Baby in Hand Leans Over Fence To Catch the Ball During SA vs PAK T20I; Goes Viral [WATCH]

As the ball moved into the ropes with one bounce, a man with a baby in his hand leaned over the fence and grabbed the ball with the other hand.

A hilarious incident unfolded during the second T20I between South Africa and Pakistan when the batter hit a boundary towards the backward point region. The bowler bowled a slightly fuller-length delivery outside the off-stump line, to which the batter slapped hard and got the thick outside edge of the willow.

As the ball moved into the ropes with one bounce, a man with a baby in his hand leaned over the fence and grabbed the ball with the other hand. At one stage, he had a baby on one side and the ball on the other, making it a comical viewing.

He immediately threw the ball into the ground in the playing area, with the game resuming after the boundary. However, the camera captured the man and his baby, and people watching the game recorded it on their gadgets.
