Dogs Keep Wickets, Take Catches in Viral Village Cricket Video
Some kids in a hilly village wanted to play cricket but did not have enough players for a full game.
So they came up with a clever idea: they used their pet dogs and cows as extra fielders.
In the video, the animals stand around the field and help catch the ball.
One dog even acts as the wicket-keeper, standing behind the wickets without gloves.
The dog catches the ball using its mouth, just like a real wicket-keeper would.
Another dog makes a stunning catch that gets one of the young batters out.
The batter looks shocked at how well the dog caught the ball.
The same dog runs after the ball, jumps over big rocks, and brings it back to the bowler.
A man named Mufaddal Vohra shared the video on X, and it quickly became popular online.
People on the internet praised the dogs' catching skills, and the clip got over 7,500 likes within hours.
