New Zealand batter Colin Munro won hearts in the ongoing PSL 2024 for his gesture towards a ball boy in the recent match between Islamabad United and Peshawar Zalmi on Monday.
Munro, who represents the Islamabad franchise in the tournament, was spotted giving the kid some fielding tips after he failed to complete a catch beyond the boundary line.
Colin Munro was fielding at deep square leg, and the ball boy was standing just behind him. Amir Jamal of Peshawar hit a six over Munro's head, putting the ball well out of reach. The ball boy attempted to catch the ball but failed. That's when Munro was spotted giving the kid some advice.
A few overs later, Arif Yaqoob flicked a delivery towards the leg side and the ball landed just behind Colin Munro. The ball boy proved to be a quick learner and completed a sensational catch whole sliding.
Munro jumped over the ball boy to avoid collision and then jumped in elation and celebrated by hugging the ball boy.
The heartwarming moment was captured in the broadcaster’s camera and became viral in no time. The official X account of the PSL shared the clip with a caption, “Just out of reach for Munro, but the ball boy dives in for a sensational catch and earns a warm hug.”
