Verbal interaction with gestures between players is a part of a game during cricket matches. The same was evident during thrilling clash between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab in IPL 2019 when Hardus Viljoen had a chat with Kieron Pollard. Pollard was hit by the ball on his shoulder and Viljoen came to confirm if he is all right. Viljoen also rubbed his hands over Pollard’s shoulder to gesture him to take care. Have a look at the video.
