BPL 2024 I Twitter reacts as Keshav Maharaj's desperate bid to prevent boundary triggers painful somersault

02/17/2024

It is only through labour and painful effort that we move on to better things and contribute. Fortune Barishal’s Keshav Maharaj showed exemplary skill and a valiant effort to stop a boundary off Sylhet Strikers batter Benny Howell resulted in an injury in the crucial encounter in Chattogram.

‌Chasing a total of 184 runs, the Sylhet Strikers had a terrible beginning losing two wickets in the first over. The Sylhet top and middle collapsed with half of their team departing with the scorecard at 35/5 in just 7.2 overs. Despite the challenge, Ariful Haque and Benny Howell endeavoured to set the stage for the Strikers to secure a victory. Meanwhile, the Barishal team displayed intense fervour on the field, notably exemplified by South Africa's Keshav Maharaj who put his 100% while saving a boundary.

In the 18th over bowled by Khaled Ahmed, Howell slammed the ball towards extra cover and aimed for a boundary. Maharaj who was stationed in the extra cover, saw the ball approaching and dived towards his left and stopped the ball. Regrettably, Maharaj's attempt to dive led to a loss of balance, causing him to hit his head on the ground and sustain an injury. Maharaj looked in pain after a mini somersault which indeed showed his great reflex while saving a boundary. Meanwhile, Barishal's Ahmad Shazad rushed to Maharaj's side as he was still in pain, offering a comforting pat on the back while the Barishal physiotherapist attended to Maharaj's injury.

The Twitterverse lauded Maharaj’s relentless efforts and took to social media to pour out their emotion.

Keshav Maharaj bhai aram se!
