Being a cricketer looks so fancy but it is surely not an easy job to do. From heavy training to staying away from your home for long days due to tournaments and matches, cricketers have to go through a lot and face a lot of challenges at the same time. At the same time, the job of an umpire comes with many challenges. However, it is not common for us to see an umpire being the star of the show. We have seen so many videos of tournaments and matches of cricket where we see players getting the spotlight of the show but this is a very rare video where you can see an umpire getting everyone’s attention.
