Cricket is a sport played by a hard leather ball being thrown toward the batters, who have a wooden bat in their hands to face those fast deliveries. It is one of the reasons why cricket cannot be played without safety gear on; it can be dangerous and even fatal at times.
Players are often seen getting hit with the ball, be it fielders or the batters but in rare incidents, even a bat can injure someone on the field. On day 1 of Sri Lanka vs Bangladesh 1st test, something rare happened when Kusal Mendis hit Bangladesh wicketkeeper, Liton Das, with his bat.
