Kiran Tarlekar’s outrageous mix of football skills in cricket is getting highly appreciated on social media. In the viral video, the batter clubbed an outside off-delivery over mid-wicket hoping that it would easily go all the way but Kiran had other plans.

Fielder situated at deep mid-wicket launched himself in the air and grabbed the ball with one hand. After plucking the ball Kiran did the hard part with some perfection. He balanced himself while landing but the momentum of the ball took him out of the boundary line.
