During a County Championship match between Yorkshire and Surrey, Jonny Bairstow, the England wicketkeeper, unintentionally struck one of his own teammates in the groin area on video, eliciting a laughter from him. The mishap occurred during the second innings at The Oval. It all started when a fast bowler from Yorkshire delivered a good-length ball to a Surrey batter.
The left-handed player failed to hit the ball, allowing it to reach Bairstow behind the stumps. With the next delivery yet to commence, Bairstow casually tossed the ball behind his back towards the first-slip fielder. However, the fielder had his gaze fixed elsewhere and did not realize that Bairstow had released the ball in his direction.
Consequently, the ball struck the teammate squarely in the groin, resulting in him falling to the ground in evident distress. Meanwhile, Bairstow could not restrain his amusement at the unfortunate incident. The Yorkshire-Surrey game also showcased Indian fast bowler Auqib Nabi, who was debuting in the County Championship for Surrey.
Nabi, supported by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, took a wicket in each innings as he acquired valuable experience playing in English conditions.
