Fan spotted running away with the ball after six lands on road in ILT20 match

The International League T20 (ILT20) is ongoing and the teams are giving it their all to clinch the title in the inaugural season, with too many actions taking place to attract fans from all ends of the world and from India in specific as there are a few Indian T20 League franchisees who own a team in the ongoing extravaganza.

That being said, during the clash between MI Emirates and Desert Vipers on January 29, Sunday, a fan was spotted taking the ball away after a six from Dan Mousley off Matheesha Pathirana landed on road. However, it was not it as the fan ensured to show it off to the person in car who tried to get to know about the incident. 

The entire scenario was captured on the video and fans claimed that it was one of the most hilarious moments from the game ever. In the 19th over off Tom Curran, Kieron Pollard hit a six and it landed on the road once again but that fan was kind enough to run up a few steps and throw the ball back into the stadium.

The guys batted well I thought, especially the start: Kieron Pollard

It was the Pollard-led Emirates team who won the game on the day after putting on 241 runs on the board on the back of Muhammad Waseem’s 86, Andre Fletcher’s 50 and Pollard’s unbeaten 19-ball 50 which provided the much-needed finish in the end. In return, the Vipers were bowled out for 84 runs with Afghanistan pacer Fazalhaq Farooqi picking up a three-for to his name on the day.

“The guys batted well I thought, especially the start. He (Waseem) was brilliant, that's what we know we can do. Lovely to see him striking it and Fletcher supporting him well. Yes (enjoying captaincy), lot of experienced guys but also some not-so-experienced guys. Have played a lot around the world, so it's about passing our knowledge. It was a good debut for him (Mousley), Nicholas (Pooran) couldn't play due to personal reasons, so he did well as the replacement,” Pollard was quoted as saying in the post-match presentation.
