Cricketers are often seen juggling the cricket ball with their foot on the field, but England pacer Brydon Carse turned to hockey during the fourth Test against India at Old Trafford in Manchester. He showed great presence of mind to use his willow to hit the ball away to prevent getting bowled.
The England all-rounder smashed three sixes to take England past the 650-run mark before getting dismissed for 141. With England’s lead swelling to 300 and Stokes returning, Brydon Carse took it on himself to continue the scoring spree.
After smashing Washington Sundar for a cross-batted six over long-on in the fourth ball of the 157th over, the pacer tried to repeat the feat the next ball. The ball, pitched away from his arc by the off-spinner, took an under-edge before making its way to the stumps.
But in an excellent display of presence of mind, Carse suddenly turned his willow into a hockey stick to guide the ball away from the stumps in the nick of time. Dhruv Jurel, who was standing behind the stumps, was shocked as Carse even started attempting a run before changing his mind to return to the crease.
Twitter was amused by Carse’s presence of mind and hockey skills with the cricket bat.
What was that?

Carse is some serious batter!
It's such a shame the way England's No.10 Brydon Carse is toying the Indian bowlers. Every time he comes to bat, he has consistently scored runs against this indian team.

Yes!
England's no.10 Brydan Carse has hurt Indian team every time he came to bat.

Such a shame is that, a number 10 batter is consistently scoring runs against Indian team and Gambhir/Gill has no answer to it. This is the most pathetic captain coach duo I have ever seen in my life!!
Oh?
Jadeja can never match ben stokes but He had better stats than King kohli in last 5 years. 🥴🥴🥴
