NEW DELHI: Former New Zealand batsman Martin Guptill, renowned for his exceptional six-hitting prowess, continues to showcase his skills even after retiring from international cricket.
During a recent Legends League Cricket match, the 38-year-old demonstrated his impeccable timing by hitting a shot that soared straight into the commentary box, shattering the window in the process.
In the 11th match of the Legends League Cricket 2024, Harbhajan Singh’s Manipal Tigers won the toss and opted to field first against the Southern Super Stars at Surat’s Lalbhai Contractor Stadium.
The Super Stars amassed an impressive total of 194 for 7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Guptill’s explosive innings of 68 runs off just 29 deliveries was the highlight of the Super Stars’ batting performance. His knock included 8 boundaries and 4 towering sixes.
One of Guptill’s sixes, hit off Dan Christian’s bowling in the 9th over, was particularly noteworthy.
The ball sailed into the commentary box, shattering the glass window of the facility.
WATCH:
The sheer power and timing of the shot left everyone in awe, including Manipal Tigers’ skipper Harbhajan Singh, who couldn’t take his eyes off the ball as it disappeared into the distance.
In response to the formidable target set by the Southern Super Stars, Manipal Tigers were bundled out for 152, falling short by 42 runs.
The Super Stars emerged victorious, thanks in large part to Guptill’s blistering knock.
