Often surprising things are seen on the cricket field. Something similar was seen in the ongoing test match between Zimbabwe and Ireland. During Ireland's second innings in this match, McBrien scored five runs on one ball. The amazing thing is that neither did he hit a boundary, nor did he get runs for over throw, but despite this he managed to score five runs on one ball. The video of this incident is going viral on social media. Let us tell you how this feat happened.

A batsman who scores 5 runs in one ball

In the 18th over of Ireland's innings, left-handed batsman McBrien played a shot towards the covers. Before the ball could hit a boundary, the fielder stopped it. But the surprising thing is that by the time the fielder threw the ball back, McBrien and Rod Tucker had run and taken five runs. Actually, the Zimbabwean fielder fell while stopping the ball and by the time he threw the ball back, the Irish players had run five runs.

How many runs can a batsman score on one ball by running?

Now the question is how many runs can a batsman make on one ball by running without hitting a four or a six. According to the rules of cricket, a batsman can make countless runs by running. Provided the ball does not cross the boundary line. A batsman cannot score runs by running if he hits a four or a six.

McBrine hits Ngarava for 5⃣!

Yep, you read that right…

Ireland 86-5 (19 overs)
Zimbabwe 197 (71 overs)
Ireland 250 (58.3 overs)
Zimbabwe 210 (71.3 overs)
