Veteran India spinner Yuzvendra Chahal came up with a hilarious reply to Aakash Chopra’s suggestion, saying sixes more than 100 metres should be given 8 runs. Chopra’s comments came after Punjab Kings all-rounder Liam Livingstone struck a 108-meter six during their game against Chennai Super Kings.
Although it is early in the tournament, we have witnessed some big hits already from the batters. On Sunday, Livingstone launched a carnage at the Brabourne Stadium taking on the Chennai bowlers.
He struck five mammoth sixes during his 32-ball 60-run knock which included a 108-meter six. Impressed by Liam Livingstone’s mammoth six, Aakash Chopra took to Twitter and wrote:
“100+ metre six should be given an 8.”
100+ metre six should be given an 8. 🤩🥳

Yuzvendra Chahal in a hilarious attempt, replied to the tweet saying that even three dot balls in the match should result in one wicket.
“Three dot balls should be 1 wicket bhaiya,” Chahal responded.
Three dot balls should be 1 wicket bhaiya 👀👀

Aakash Chopra finally came up with a sensible reply where he explained the advantage it will cater to the bowlers. The cricket expert wrote:
“Three wickets in a spell should allow the bowler to bowl an extra over also, Imagine someone trying to hit you for a 100-metre six (because it’s an 8), good chance that he’ll lose shape…risk-reward.”
