Watch: Australian Cricketer Surprised As Boyfriend Proposes Her On Field After Big Bash League Game

Australian leg spinner Amanda Jade-Wellington was pleasantly surprised after her side Adelaide Strikers beat Melbourne Renegades on Saturday.  Amanda Jade-Wellington was surprised by her boyfriend while she was celebrating the win. Her boyfriend went down on his knees to propose her for marriage and she accepted it.

The moment was as emotional as it could get as her teammates cheered her on.  According to a report in adelaidenow.com.au, Wellington said she had no idea about what her boyfriend was going to do. She was clueless when Tayler McKechnie first appeared during the team celebration.

“When I saw him on the field, I just thought: ‘Get off, we’re trying to take a team photo’. I had no idea what was really happening, but I’m so happy, I’m still shaking,” Wellington was quoted as saying by adelaidenow.com.au.

The report also said that, McKechnie, 23, proposed using a Pokemon card with the words: “Will you marry me?” written on it, with the ring sitting in a ‘poke ball’.

Here is a clip of the beautiful moment:

So, this just happened!!! ?
