The viral video shows a cricketer jumping in the air to prevent the ball from going for a six. The ball looked destined to land outside the boundary rope but the fielder unleashed the footballer within to execute a perfectly-timed ‘bicycle kick’, making sure that the ball not only just landed inside the rope but also in safe hands on another fielder to dismiss the batter.

India batting icon Sachin Tendulkar responded to the viral video with an epic reaction.”This is what happens when you bring a guy who also knows how to play football!!,” Tendulkar wrote in a tweet.
