Former England all-rounder Ravi Bopara smashed the internet, and India’s bowling attack, with a remarkable display of power hitting in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament. In a match against India, Bopara achieved the unthinkable, hitting six consecutive sixes in an over against Indian captain Robin Uthappa.
Bopara’s onslaught saw Uthappa concede a whopping 37 runs in a single over, including six sixes and a wide. He reached his half-century in a blistering 14 balls. Bopara’s six-hitting spree continued into the next over, as he struck another maximum off Shahbaz Nadeem, taking his total to seven consecutive sixes.
England, led by Bopara, finished their innings with a formidable total of 120/1 in just six overs, thanks to Bopara’s 53 runs off 14 balls (8 sixes) and Samit Patel’s quickfire 51 runs off 18 balls (4 fours, 5 sixes).
Despite strong contributions from Bharat Chipli (21 off 7), Shreevats Goswami (27 off 10), and Kedar Jadhav (48 not out off 15), India fell short of England’s total, finishing with 105/6 in their six overs. The loss marked India’s fourth consecutive defeat in the tournament, as they continue to struggle in the competition.
Bopara’s astonishing feat has taken the cricket world by storm, showcasing his incredible hitting prowess and leaving spectators in awe.
