Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane is a huge cricket fan and shares a very healthy rapport with some of the leading cricketers around the world, including the Indian batting great Virat Kohli.
On Monday (August 9), Harry Kane made an appearance at the Mecca of Cricket – Lord’s Cricket Ground. He came to the iconic stadium to attend The Hundred clash between London Spirit and Manchester Originals and also performed the toss.
Moreover, the England footballer took part in a six-hitting challenge and performed commentary duties alongside India legend Ravi Shastri as well.
Harry Kane’s Spurs teammate Matt Doherty was also present at the venue. Ahead of the game, the two took part in a six-hitting challenge against each other.
Doherty outperformed Kane in the six-hitting challenge as he found distance and height in his shots. Both the footballers donned London Spirit’s jersey to make it clear where their loyalties are.
Coming to the match, London Spirit outclassed Manchester Originals in all departments to win the match by 52 runs.
Riding on Zak Crawley’s 34-ball 41 and vital contributions from Kieron Pollard (34* off 11 balls) and Eoin Morgan (37 off 26 balls), London Spirit posted 160/6 on the board.
In reply, Manchester Originals were bowled out for 108 in 98 balls. Philip Salt was the lone fighter with the bat, scoring 36 off 34 balls.
Jordan Thompson starred with the ball for the Spirit, returning with the figures of 4 for 21 in his 20 balls.
