NEW DELHI: One of probably the most unfit and non athletic cricketers going world wide for the time being, ‘huge man’ Rahkeem Cornwall on Thursday suffered an embarrassing run out throughout a Caribbean Premier League match between Saint Lucia Kings and Barbados Royals.
The incident befell within the first over of Barbados’ chase when Rahkeem’s associate Kyle Mayers, on the non-striker’s finish, tried to steal a single after the ball struck Rahkeem’s pads and went to the brief fine-leg.
As Chris Sole fumbled the ball, Mayers took off, forcing Rahkeem to go for the run. But Sole instantly corrected his mistake and grabbed the ball and fired it straight on the stumps on the non-striker’s finish. Realising his destiny, Rahkeem gave up midway down the pitch and did not even attempt to make the crease.
