Australian middle-order batsman Tim David hit a powerful six, which landed on the roof of the Hobart Stadium and covered a distance of 129 metres. Former great England player Kevin Pietersen claimed that this shot should have given him 12 runs instead of 6.
India has played three matches in Australia T20I so far. The first match was washed out due to excessive rain after which Suryakumar Yadav and Shubman Gill gave them a good start. The Australian bowlers looked dominant in the second match, with Josh Hazlewood being the best bowler.
The Indian and Australian teams marked their third appearance in the series with impressive wins over the Australian team. They have come to level the series 1-1 after falling behind in Hobart.
Kevin Pietersen said, “Any six over 100 meters should be worth 12 runs.”
After Arshdeep Singh returned to the Indian playing XI, Travis Head and Josh Inglis were out in no time. Then in the third over of the match, Tim David came on the field. Tim David has found a new role after being promoted up the batting order.
He made a 50-run partnership with Mitchell Marsh, of which David himself scored a half-century. Mitchell Marsh was eventually out on 11 and was followed by Mitchell Owen.
In the 7th over of the game, Tim David hit a powerful six, which went 129 meters across the straight boundary. The ball was deposited on the roof of the stadium. Former England batsman Kevin Pietersen has praised his brute power and claimed that it should have got him 12 runs instead of just 6.
