ILT20 | Twitter nostalgic as Boult takes a leaf out of Dhoni's playbook to flummox Drakes
Special cricketers leave unforgettable moments that linger in our memories for a long time. Trent Boult performing a crafty move to send Dominic Drakes back to the pavilion in the ILT20 encounter between MI Emirates and Gulf Giants echoed MS Dhoni’s street smartness from the past days.
On the fifth delivery of the 18th over, Trent Boult banged a short ball, angled across around the fourth stump line that Drakes failed to pull. Instead, the ball hit the left shoulder of the Caribbean youngster and deflected towards the short third man where Mohammad Rohid Khan plucked the kookaburra and attempted a throw at the non-striker’s end.
As the batters crossed over for a run, Boult strolled near the stumps and used his palm to deflect the ball towards the stumps even before Drakes could reach the crease. This smart act from Boult received huge praise from his teammates and the Twitterverse could relate it with a similar witty act when MS Dhoni ran out Ross Taylor during his playing days.
Midas touch of Boult

Is it home crowd?
Does this ILT20 have home crowds?

Note it
Everyone knows...hetmyer can't play spin...intentionally sent him high up the order...because score must be under 190

Shameless @ICC waiting for vigilantes to take out each Fixer away...maybe vigilantes must start with ICC officials for not taking action against @ILT20Official
