‘Already hits it better than dad did’ - Jacques Kallis shares adorable video of playing cricket with his son

Former South Africa international Jacques Kallis, who is also considered as one of the greatest all-rounders of all time, shared an adorable video on his Twitter profile, where he was spotted playing cricket with his son.

In the video, his three-year-old son Josh was spotted batting while Kallis was bowling to him. He hit a shot towards the mid-on and Kallis recorded that and later shared by saying that he is already playing better than his dad. The former cricketer also tagged his wife stating that he might be spending more time on the cricket field given his son’s talent with the bat.

“Already hits it better than dad did. Looks like I gonna be next to a cricket field for many years to come @charlene_engels,” Kallis shared.
