Ex-Cricketer Kevin Pietersen Stunned By South African Boy's Rugby KickKevin Pietersen, a former England cricket captain, expressed his amazement on social media after seeing a video of a South African schoolboy nailing an incredible rugby kick.
The video, originally shared by a user named Darren, showed the young player launching the ball from a far distance during a match. Darren estimated the kick to be 75 metres, though some viewers debated the exact distance, suggesting it be closer to 65 metres.
Darren wrote in the caption, "Just a South African schoolboy slotting a 75-metre kick."
Pietersen, clearly impressed, retweeted the video, calling it "This might be the best goal kick I've ever seen on a rugby field. Is this real???" He even tagged Beauden Barrett, a renowned New Zealand rugby player, asking, "How's this?"
"Rugby is played in South Africa and New Zealand much like cricket is played or watched in India," commented a user.
"Nice to see schoolboy rugby is still traditional in South Africa. Well done, lightie kicker. When you're 18, guess you'll be kicking 75 metres plus," wrote another user.
A third user who commented to say that he was present during this kick was hit wrote, "Yes, it's real! I was there. Menlo Park U16A vs. Kempton Hoer @ Eldoraigne in PTA. Menlo just won the match. The boy is from Menlo."
