Holder to Rahul, SIX, upper cut and it’s cleared third man. May be he should have attempted this shot for the fourth ball too. He may say this bounced a tad more. Anyway, short and wide, Rahul cuts hard and late, great timing to send it over the rope. Kesrick Williams to Rahul, SIX, gee, what a […]

K Pierre to Rohit, 2 runs, oh stunning effort from Evin Lewis. He caught the ball, but released as he was about to cross the boundary. Rohit escapes. And it was poor from Rohit that he had to put in the dive to avoid the run-out scare on the second attempt despite having so much time. […]

Cottrell to Rohit, SIX, lofted and it lands on the rope. 400th international six for Ro! Cottrell got the length wrong by bowling slightly short. Rohit swung across the line and sent it all the way over mid-wicket despite not getting the middle of the bat. Here is the clip of that video: 

Pollard to Shivam Dube, SIX, lovely, he’s getting a feel of this wicket now, banged in short and well outside off, Dube swivels across and clubs it high and over deep square leg for a maximum. Pollard to Shivam Dube, SIX, smashed, Pollard and his slower ones are going the distance now, length delivery at the stumps, Dube leans […]

Kesrick Williams to Kohli, 1 run, India struggling for timing now. Pace of the ball, Kohli trying to hit too hard, gets an under edge that rolls past the stumps. Oh Kohli is angry. He complains to the ump about the bowler coming in his line. But replays show that the bowler was only trying […]

Cottrell to Rahul, SIX, hooked over fine leg off a top-edge for six! Bangs it in short, 138.5km/h, no width, Rahul has gone blind on that hook just hoping for the best and eventually gets enough on it into the Indian dug out for a massive six. India easily won the match by 6 wickets and the Indian skipper […]

Kesrick Williams to Kohli, SIX, and he signs off with a stunning flat lofted drive over extra-cover too. India have chased 208 with 8 balls to spare. What scenes from Kohli. He points to the back of his shirt towards his name and then lets out an intense roar. Pollard looks away. And then he takes the helmet […]

Kesrick Williams to Kohli, SIX, now wait! Is that a machine with rubber like flexibility? How do you even do that? The yorker from Kesrick Williams, again misses by half a yard or so, Kohli whips, I don’t know how he managed so much power. Flat and hard over wide long-on. And look at Kohli immitating […]

Holder to Kohli, SIX, this is as good as that back foot lofted drive Kohli played a few months ago, don’t remember the opposition. Not easy to play the lofted shot to a slower ball because you need to manufacture all the power. But such is his timing on that it sails easily over long-off. That […]

K Pierre to Pant, SIX, and there you go! This is the flair that Pant brings. He plays some audacious shots to get that excitement going. Pierre fired a full delivery, Pant slogged, off balance though. You expect him to lose shape while trying to slog, an area that he desperately needs to tinker with, but […]
