New Delhi. Many times the batsmen get the support of luck on the cricket field. Sometimes they miss easy catches and sometimes they are narrowly avoided by getting run out, but Henry Nicholls of New Zealand may have had bad luck on Thursday.

Everyone was surprised to see the way Henry Nicholls got out. Actually, he played the shot in front but the ball hit Daryl Mitchell’s bat at the other end and jumped and went in the mid-off direction. Alex Lees present there did not make any mistake in taking the catch and Nicholls had to return to the pavilion. A video of this has been shared by England Cricket on social media.
