New Delhi. In today’s era, fitness is very important in cricket. Players sweat for hours in the gym to keep themselves fit. But, West Indies all-rounder Rahkeem Cornwall has nothing to do with fitness. The weight of this player from West Indies is more than 140 kg. A video of him from the Caribbean Premier League, in which Cornwall was run out while trying to score a run, went viral. However, the way he ran out won’t stop you from laughing.
Raheem Cornwall plays for Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League 2023 (CPL 2023). In the match against St. Lucia Kings, he was run out in a strange manner. The video of his dismissal is going viral. In fact, the bowler who dismissed Virat Kohli in the Test series lost under his own weight. Rahkeem Cornwall, who opened the innings for Barbados Royals in the match, played the first ball towards fine leg. The ball slipped slightly from the hands of Chris Soule who was stationed there. Meanwhile, Cornwall runs for a single. Kyle Myers from the non-striker’s end quickly reaches the crease at the striker’s end. But, Rahkeem Cornwall died in the middle of the road and instead of running, he started jogging.

Meanwhile, the fielder bowled three balls towards the non-striker’s end. Jogging was overwhelming for Cornwall. The ball hit the stumps before he got inside the crease and was run out on the very first ball. Anyone who saw the video of her exiting like this couldn’t stop laughing. Rahkeem has been criticized for his fitness many times. He is the heaviest cricketer to have played international cricket and his fitness has once again come to the fore in the CPL.
