Nothing makes a batter and the crowd happier than witnessing a monumental six soaring to the roof of the ground. This spectacle unfolded in the Super Eight game between USA and England, where Jos Buttler smashed a cracker of a six that soared onto the stadium rooftop, shattering the solar panels.
England dominated after winning the toss, securing wickets at regular intervals. Reece Topley and Sam Curran set the tone by dismissing Andries Gous and Steven Taylor in the powerplay. Adil Rashid’s brilliant spell scalping two important wickets and Chris Jordan’s heroic hat-trick restricted USA to just 115 runs. In response, Jos Buttler greeted Saurabh Netravalkar with a colossal six that travelled to the roof of the stadium.
On the fourth ball of the third over, the Mumbai-born bowler reverted to over-the-wicket bowling against the English skipper. Buttler, charging down the pitch, smashed a full-length delivery straight back over Netravalkar’s head with immense power. The ball soared high into the sky, reaching the rooftop of the stands with such force that it shattered a solar panel, as captured by a drone camera.
The Twitterverse was captivated by Buttler’s monstrous six, buzzing with excitement and praise for the spectacular display of power hitting.
That was massive!
