Men’s Hundred | Twitter ablaze as Keaton Jennings and Topley engage in heated mid-match confrontation
Remaining calm and composed on the field is crucial, but when emotions run high, things can take a different turn. This was evident in the game between London Spirit and Northern Superchargers, where Keaton Jennings lost his cool after being dismissed and had a tense exchange with Reece Topley.
Jennings began the fifth set with a bang, smashing two sixes and a four off Topley, setting the stage for a promising innings. But on the 25th delivery, Topley delivered a short and wide ball outside off stump. Jennings attempted to send it over deep backward point for another six but mistimed his shot. The ball sailed into the hands of Patrick Brown, who made a comfortable catch.
As Brown completed the catch and Jennings prepared to walk off, an exchange of words ensued between him and Topley. The batter was visibly frustrated and said something to Topley, who responded in kind. The 32-year-old left the field fuming and even had a brief discussion with the third umpire. The incident quickly caught the attention of the Twitterverse, with fans flocking to social media to discuss the heated moment.

Reece Topley instead of Ben Dwarshuis…why? Topley hasn’t exactly shone in the 100. At least Ben can hit a ball and has taken a few wickets.
