(Watch) Reece Topley losses his cool after getting injured, throws chair and slams window at Wankhede stadium
The riveting contest between England and South Africa is currently underway at Mumbai’s Wankhede Stadium. England, having won the toss and elected to field, made an impressive start by dismissing the dangerous Quinton de Kock on only the second ball of the match. Reece Topley, in a spectacular display of bowling, induced a thick outside edge off Quinton’s bat, which was safely pouched by Jos Buttler behind the wickets.
However, Topley’s dream-like beginning on the field was short-lived, as he encountered an unfortunate injury just a few overs later. During the seventh over, Topley injured his left-hand finger, prompting the physios to attend to him and advise him to leave the field. This unexpected turn of events left Topley understandably frustrated, leading to an outburst where he vented his anger by throwing a chair and inadvertently shattering a window pane in the dressing room. A viral video captured this intense moment of frustration.
Reece Topley’s cricketing journey has been marred by a string of injuries, particularly in significant tournaments. He faced the unfortunate fate of being ruled out of the 2022 T20 World Cup due to an injury. This year, during the IPL 2023, he suffered another injury setback, forcing him to withdraw from the cash-rich league.
