Bellingham joined La Liga champions Real Madrid in a big-money deal from Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2023. Although the exact amount wasn’t disclosed, Bellingham has justified every penny spent on him by Real Madrid by hitting the ground running. The England midfielder has scored 17 goals in 20 games across all club competitions for the Spanish giants, helping them reach the round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League and vie for the La Liga title.
However, football is not the only sport Bellingham excels at. In a recent viral video on social media, Bellingham was seen trying his hand at batting in front of a bowling machine. The two-seconds video showed Bellingham hitting a pitched up ball hard. Although the shot was played inside the nets, it would not be wrong to assume that the shot would fetch four runs over the bowler’s head in an actual cricket match.
