The match was between Richie Burnett and Kurt Parry from Wales and Karl Gabriel and Devon Petersen from South Africa, ending with a score of 4-1 in favor of the Welsh.

After an impressive checkout of 112 points from Parry, Peterson jokingly 'hit' Burnett for his team's victory.

Burnett, 58, decided to play along and pretended to be knocked out by the hit.

However, his exaggerated reaction caused him to bump his head on the TV in the corner of the room.

Fortunately, Burnett looked fine: rubbing his head, he laughed off the incident.

Fans were indeed thrilled by this funny moment and actively discussed it on social media.

One fan called it 'the funniest ending of a darts match', while another added: 'We need to see Richie on screen more often.'

Richie Burnett's popularity

Burnett, affectionately known as 'The Prince of Wales', enjoys massive popularity among darts fans.

This seasoned player became a viral character last year thanks to his unusual technique of throwing darts on one leg.

He is also noted for his humility, providing an example to many with his experiences of hard times when he couldn't even afford to buy a kettle for boiling water.

“When I was struggling and didn’t have money, I was in Wigan at a tournament and bought myself a Pot Noodle for dinner, but I didn’t have a kettle to boil water. The only thing I could do was drain water from the radiator in the room.”
The quirky incident in the match between Wales and South Africa, which became a hit among fans, once again highlighted the uniqueness of the darts environment where even curious moments can gather public attention. Richie Burnett, as always, showcased his charisma and humor, making him a favorite among fans.
