News India Live, Digital Desk: Cricket is not called a game of uncertainties for nothing. Sometimes something happens on the field that seems more exciting than a film script. One such match was seen in the ongoing SA20 League in South Africa, which has surprised the cricket fans around the world. This match was between Pretoria Capitals and Joburg Super Kings (JSK). Seeing what happened at the beginning of the match, even the commentators started reading the Pretoria team’s ‘condolence message’. Beginning of disaster: 5 wickets for 7 runs! Yes, you read it right. As soon as the match started, the Pretoria Capitals team fell apart like a pack of cards. Only 7 runs had been added on the score board when their 5 main batsmen were out and sitting in the dugout. There was silence in the stadium and celebration in the camp of Joburg Super Kings. Everyone felt that this match would now become a joke and the Pretoria team would probably be limited to 30-40 runs only. When ‘Baby AB’ and Rutherford became the shield, but it is said in cricket – one should not accept defeat until the last ball is bowled. In those difficult times, two hopefuls came to the crease – Dewald Brevis and Sherfane Rutherford. While other batsmen were coming and going, both of them established their footing. Brewis, also known to the world as ‘Baby AB de Villiers’, showed his class and Rutherford his strength. Both of them not only stopped the series of wickets falling, but also gradually started pulling the match from the grip of the opposition. Joburg’s bowlers thought that the work was done, perhaps this was their mistake. Brewis and Rutherford built an intelligent partnership instead of hitting recklessly and then went on the offensive in the end to achieve a seemingly impossible target. This win was not just a match win, it was an example that if there is courage, even after falling 5 wickets for 7 runs, the situation can be turned around. Now both these players are being praised a lot on social media. Cricket fans will remember this ‘comeback’ for a long time.
