It was a club match in England and the batsman was Martin Hughes who plays for Southend Civic Cricket Club. The right-handed batsman looked really excited to bat in the match and went back to the pavilion quickly after realising his mistake. Cricket fans were also laughing about the fact that the umpire was using a mobile phone during the match and took some time before giving a signal to the batsman that he should return to the pavilion to wear the pads.<\/p>\n<p>The video has gone viral on Twitter as fans are really enjoying it a lot. It was posted by &#8216;That&#8217;s so village&#8217; and has received over 14,000 likes and more than 1,900 retweets.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"zxx\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JEYho6zRaG\">pic.twitter.com\/JEYho6zRaG<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 That\u2019s so Village (@ThatsSoVillage) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ThatsSoVillage\/status\/1549711271766933505?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hahahaha &#8230;this got to be one of the best&#8230;. right up there&#8230;EPIC!!!!,&#8221; commented a fan.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hahahaha &#8230;this got to be one of the best&#8230;. right up there&#8230;EPIC!!!!\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Prashant\u200b Menon (@menoned) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/menoned\/status\/1549715587919515648?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 20, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Another Twitter user wrote, &#8220;No pads.
