In the ongoing ODI series between India and Australia, Umpire Richard Kettleborough sustained a leg injury during the 4th ODI at Manuka Oval in Canberra. He was hit by the ball on the right leg shin from a straight drive by Aaron Finch. Ishant Sharma was bowling and as soon as Finch hit the ball to straight drive, Ishant tried to catch the ball but he missed.
A closer look shows that the ball came off the bowler’s hand and hit the umpire’s leg.
Outstanding fielding from umpire Kettleborough! Good to see him have a laugh after that… #AUSvIND pic.twitter.com/PACr8EkgNd
