This epic cricket catch right at the boundary line is a triumph of teamwork
In the video, two teams can be seen competing against each other in a clearing complete with a cricket pitch and coconut trees. The bowler makes his delivery and the batsman catches it full with his bat and smashes it far and high. Just when it seems that the ball will cross the boundary, however, one alert fielder steps up to attempt the catch.

The epic catch garnered multiple likes and tweets.Â
