In a hilarious clip going viral on social media as many as three batters were spotted on the pitch. The clip records a comedy of errors from the fielding team who miss a run out chance after another, allowing the batters to continue to take runs. Assuming that the fielding team has managed to get a batter out, a third batter also walks on to the pitch before he begins to encourage his teammates to run quickly.
While the fielding side had a massive chance to get the batter at the non-striker run out, they ended up missing that chance as the wicketkeeper uprooted the stumps instead of passing the ball to the striker's end. Amid all the confusion and the chaos, the third batter seemed to be enjoying the cricketing action from close quarters. Eventually though, the fielding team does manage to get a batter run out with the two batters on the pitch being stranded at the bowlers' end, seemingly exhausted from all the running.
Take a look at the hilarious video here:

India Taking On England In A Five-Match Home Test Series In International Cricket
As far as India are concerned, they are taking on England in a five-match home Test series in international cricket. However, it hasn't been a great start to the series as they ended up losing the series opener at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad by 28 runs on Sunday (January 28). This was the first time India ended up losing a Test at home after leading by an excess of over 100 runs after the first innings.
The two teams will now square off in the second Test match at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam beginning on February 2. The action will then shift to Rajkot, Ranchi and Dharamsala for the third, fourth and fifth Test matches respectively.
