Former Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt took to Instagram and shared his batting video while playing with his friends. He can be seen facing 2-3 deliveries in the video and playing a cover drive in one of them.
Bolt manages to defend the first delivery which was aimed at his stumps. He then plays a cover drive off the quick delivery and also tells his friend how fast it was.
The last delivery was a beamer and he moves his body away from the ball while trying to guide it towards the third man. "A hold Vibe", he captioned the video while posting it on Instagram.

The Jamaican, who has achieved a lot as a sprinter, calls cricket his first love. Back in 2014, Bolt had revealed his father made him choose track and field over cricket.
"My father is a huge cricket fan, but when I got to higher secondary, I had two options -- cricket or athletics. My dad said because of the system in Jamaica; it would be better to take up athletics. You just have to run fast in athletics while it's tougher to get into the national (cricket) team'," Bolt told AFP during his promotional visit to India in 2014.
The sprinter is an eight-time Olympic gold medalist and is the only sprinter to win Olympic 100 m and 200 m gold medals at three consecutive Olympics (2008, 2012, and 2016).
