Rahkeem Cornwall was involved in a hilarious fielding goof up in match number 13 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024. During the contest between Barbados Royals and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, two fielders, while attempting to take a catch, collided instead leading to a comical incident. Theent happened during the 16th over of the Falcons' batting innings.
It was Obed McCoy who was the bowler and tried a slower on off the last ball of the over. McCoy even managed to deceive the batter Sam Billings who only got elevation in that mistimes stroke. However, as the ball went high up in the air, fielders Rovman Powell and Rahkheem Cornwall both tried to get underneath the ball from mid-off and cover and ended up colliding with each other as the ball slipped through.

Post the incident, Powell and Cornwall looked at each other with McCoy managing a smile after realising that they had let go of another wicket chance. Even the commentators on air had a blast as they tried to describe what had just happened. Soon the video of the incident surfaced online and went viral in no time.

Sam Billings Couldn't Make Most Of The Life
Meanwwhile, Billings, who was already batting on 56 when his catch was dropped, couldn't make the most of the life that was given to him and could only add one more run before eventually getting out. Barbados Royals eventually went on to win a thrilling match by 10 runs ( DLS method).
It was the Rahkeem Cornwall-Rovman Powell dropped catch though that proved to be a big talking point from the fixture.
