In a heart-warming gesture, New Zealand batter Colin Munro made a ball boy's day during a Pakistan Super League (PSL) match after he taught him how to catch a ball.
Munro is representing Islamabad United in PSL's season 9 and his team was up against Peshawar Zalmi in the 20th match at the Pindi Cricket Stadium on Monday.
During the match when United was fielding, a ball boy dropped a catch beyond the boundary and Munro gave him a side hug and offered him some coaching advice.
Later in the match, the boy received another opportunity and successfully caught the ball. Munro promptly celebrated with the young boy by picking him up.
The video of this event has since gone viral, with the cricketing community describing it as one of the kindest moments to occur on the cricket field.
Social media users and cricket lovers shared the video and it has been watched by millions of people.
"Can’t stop watching this man," wrote a netizen on Facebook.

"Just can't stop watching this masterpiece again and again. Munro you just won many hearts today. That is some pure humbleness," said another user.
