November 24, 2020 18:12 IST

Tottenham's Dele Alli on Monday stunned his team-mates by pulling off an 'outrageous catch' while playing cricket.

In the video, which Dele shared on Twitter, after the batsman hit the ball, the 6' 2" midfielder deflected the ball with his foot before taking a stunning catch.

The International Cricket Council retweeted the same video, noting, 'An outrageous catch by England footballer @dele_official while playing cricket with his @SpursOfficial team-mates. We wouldn't advise trying that with a real cricket ball though.'

 

 

Commenting on the ICC's tweet, one fan wrote: 'Deadly Football Cricket combo!'

'Makes the outrageous look effortless!' another said about Dele's catch.

Tottenham are currently placed on the top spot of the English Premier League table with 20 points from nine games.

The club will next take on Chelsea on Sunday, November 29.
