South Africa Batting Coach JP Duminy Fielding SA vs IRE: The third match of the ODI series was played between South Africa and Ireland on Monday. A unique scene related to this match is going viral on social media. Former African cricketer and current white ball batting coach JP Duminy was seen fielding in the field during the last over of Ireland's innings. Let us tell you that Duminy has taken more than 9,000 runs and more than 130 wickets in his international career.
Many players of the South African team have been injured recently, perhaps due to this Duminy may have had to come to the field for fielding. Temba Bavuma was ruled out of the series against Ireland due to an elbow injury. On the other hand, Viaan Mulder had returned home due to personal reasons. Apart from him, the team's opening batsman Tony De Jorji is also currently suffering from a knee injury. Tony has not been seen in the field since the first ODI match against Ireland.
