Vitality T20 Blast has reached its final stage. Every player is putting all effort to make his team reach the quarter-finals. Yorkshire’s wicket-keeper Jonathan Tattersall also gave his 100 per cent to run out Durham’s batsman but ended up hitting his own teammate Keshav Maharaj.

Incident took place when Keshav Maharaj bowled to Durham batsman and it hit on the pad and the ball was rolling back to pitch. Durham batsmen were stealing a run and Yorkshire’s keeper had found a good opportunity of a run-out. He immediately ran towards the ball, picked it and threw it without noticing where the stumps are.

But he unintentionally hit the bowler Keshav Maharaj at the hip. Bowler seemed in pain after the incident. Official Twitter handle of Vitality Blast posted the video with a caption ‘The Poor Bowler”.
