CSK Icon Hits Monstrous 106-Metre Six Off Anrich Nortje In Major League Cricket- WATCH
CSK legend was in fine form during Texas Super Kings' match against Washington Freedom.
Chennai Super Kings (CSK)-owned Texas Super Kings were in action in the Major League Cricket (MLC) on July 17 (IST) and boy did one of the five-time Indian Premier League (IPL) champions' legendary player was in good form in the match against Washington Freedom. Not only did he make his presence felt with the ball but he was in splendid form with the bat in hand, hitting a humongous six that has been the talke of the town. The cricketer in question happens to be none other than Dwayne Bravo who might have taken up the role of the team's bowling coach in the IPL but was in thunderous form with the bat in MLC.
The West Indies cricket icon smashed 76 off 39 deliveries. His knock with the bat came after he had bowled a useful spell of 1 for 28 in his 4 fours. Bravo smashed a total of six sixes in his innings one of which was a monstrous hit and covered a distance of 106 metres. Anrich Nortje was on the receiving end of this as he pitched the ball short but Bravo was up for the challenge and responded with the big hit.
The video of that shot has gone viral on social media.
