‌IPL 2024 | Twitter and Hardik celebrate Rohit Sharma’s uncanny one-handed six in 250th IPL game

Winning the toss and electing to field first did not pay rich dividends for the Punjab Kings inside the powerplay as the MI top-three managed to slam 54 runs in the phase. Rohit Sharma and Suryakumar Yadav consolidated a fifty-plus runs partnership for the second wicket to set up a solid stage for the visitors with a Hitman one-handed six against Harshal Patel stealing the spotlight. 

On the fourth ball of the eleventh over, Harshal came over the wicket and bowled a back-of-the-hand slower one at the stumps to Rohit. The Indian captain picked the variation early and lunged forward to slog it down the ground. The ball sailed very high in the night sky, and for once, the on-air commentators speculated it for a catching chance. But the ball was seen marooning just over the ropes with Sam Curran dumbfounded at the long on region. The fact that Rohit lost his bottom hand while executing the stroke and clearing the ropes left Hardik and the Twitterverse in awe.

Wow! What a shot!

That's beauty!

Boom!

Hardik was so happy for it!

Brilliant!

He was surprised himself!

That is why we pay our internet bills!

Good bat on it!

Hahaha!

Can watch it on loop!
