New Zealand batter Colin Munro, who is representing Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) season nine, made a ball boy's day during his side's game agaist Peshawar Zalmi in the 20th match at the Pindi Cricket Stadium.
In a heartwarming incident early in Islamabad United's fielding effort against Peshawar Zalmi, a ball boy dropped a catch beyond the boundary, and Munro offered him some coaching advice.
Later, the ball boy received another opportunity and successfully caught the ball. Munro promptly celebrated with the young boy, making his day.
The video of this event has since gone viral, with the cricketing community describing it as one of the kindest moments to occur on the cricket field.

It must be noted that Shadab Khan's men restricted Babar Azam and Co. to 167/9 after posting 196/4.
Peshawar faced challenges in the chase from the start, losing Babar on a golden duck due to Alex Hales' run-out in the first over bowled by Naseem Shah.
Naseem dismissed Saim Ayub on the last ball of the over, and Rumman Raees claimed Mohammad Haris, leaving Peshawar at 3-3.
In the last over of the Power Play, Shadab Khan introduced Naseem's brother, Hunain Shah, who took two wickets—Tom Kohler-Cadmore and Rovman Powell.
Aamer Jamal and Paul Walter revived Zalmi's hopes, putting up a strong sixth-wicket partnership in the run chase. Aamer Jamal impressed the Rawalpindi crowd with a remarkable 49-ball 87, including six sixes and eight fours. Walter supported with a 29-ball 30.
In the first innings, Peshawar chose to field and struck early as Saim Ayub dismissed Alex Hales on the first ball. Despite Colin Munro's six and four in the next over, Ayub had the last laugh, dismissing him while attempting another boundary.
At 28-2 in three overs, Shadab Khan and Salman Ali Agha formed a crucial 65-run partnership for the third wicket in 44 balls. Salman Irshad's breakthrough in the 11th over, dismissing Agha, halted the recovery.
