In the game of cricket, you must have seen many batsmen playing creative shots and hitting fours and sixes, but in such attempts, many players make mistakes and lose their wickets. Something similar has been seen once again. Actually, a video of Dubai Capitals player Luc Du Plooy is going viral on social media in which in an attempt to show heroism, he hits his own leg and gets bowled.

Yes, that’s what happened. Actually, this entire incident happened in the 27th match of ILT20 which was being played between Sharjah Warriors and Dubai Capitals on the ground of Dubai itself. Here Luc Du Plooy had come to bat at number-5 for Dubai Capitals and meanwhile he made a mistake while playing a scoop shot to Taskin Ahmed. What was to happen next, Taskin’s ball hit the edge of Luc du Plooy’s bat and then hit the stumps.

The full video of Luc du Plooy’s dismissal has been shared by the official X account of ILT20, which you can watch below. Know that he was out after scoring only 5 runs in 6 balls. If we talk about Taskin, he took 1 wicket for 29 runs in 3.1 overs.

If we talk about the result of this match, then on Dubai ground, Dubai Capitals won the toss and chose to bowl first, after which Sharjah Warriors scored 134 runs after losing 8 wickets in 20 overs. Johnson Charles played the biggest innings for them, adding 43 runs on 46 balls.

That’s a replay Leus du Plooy will not want to watch.
A fancy, unorthodox hit goes very, very wrong for the batter, losing his balance, his stumps and his wicket!#DCvSW #DPWorldILT20 #WhereTheWorldPlays #AllInForCricket pic.twitter.com/C1ZvYCuaDq
