New Zealand batter Darly Mitchell continued his batting form in the second test match against England on Friday at the Trent Bridge in Nottingham. During his knock, one of his sixes landed inside a fan’s beer glass in the stands.
The incident took place in the 50th over when Jack Leach came to bowl. Daryl Mitchell had played around 40 deliveries and was looking settled at the crease. On the second delivery, he danced down the track and hit a six through the mid-wicket region. However, the six landed straight into a fan’s beer glass.
The video of the incident was shared by England Cricket on their Instagram profile. Captioning the post, they wrote, “New drink please 😂 🏴 #engvnz 🇳🇿 #englandcricket.”
