Wicket-keeper Chadwick Walton’s attempt to catch a ball off Ben Dunk gloves in a high-scoring game against Lahore Qalandars in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) left everyone in splits. A GIF of the incident was shared by @_cricingif on Twitter saying Dunk is a long-lost brother of Walton.

This is Walton's world and we are living in it! #HBLPSLV #TayyarHain #CricketForAll pic.twitter.com/38nJEHCLJr
PSL’s official account quote tweeted the video with the caption, “Yaaro yehi dosti hai. Qismat se jo mili hai.” In the clip, Dunk can be seen hitting the ball but it touches his gloves and gets elevation when Walton attempts to catch it. However, the ball falls on Dunk’s shoulders and Walton ends up grabbing the legs of the batsman.
In the match against Karachi Kings, Dunk hit 12 sixes in a 99-run inning and chased down 187 runs with five balls remaining. But the video of Walton holding Dunk’s leg to attempt the catch was enough for social media to come up with hilarious reactions.

My guess is Walton thought that the ball has touched the bat and it has landed on Dunk if he catches Dunk he has caught the ball and thereby he's bowled out. Very funny though when i was watching it live

Qalandars still in contest
Lahore Qalandars impressive win over Karachi Kings gave the team a major boost in their bid to reach the qualifiers. Qalandars have not been able to consistently perform in the past seasons of the PSL but two back-to-back wins have given them much needed hope for the qualifier.
