Southern Super Stars opener Martin Guptill delivered a thrilling performance, smashing four straight sixes off Manipal Tigers bowler Daniel Christian. This feat occurred during match 11 of the Legends League Cricket 2024 on Tuesday, October 1, at Lalabhai Contractor Stadium in Surat.
Former New Zealand cricketer Martin Guptill unleashed an explosive attack in the ninth over of the Southern Super Stars’ innings. He hit the first ball for a six over mid-wicket, followed by another six to fine-leg.
The right-handed batsman then sent a clean shot over deep mid-wicket and launched a massive six to long-on that shattered a window in the commentary box. Guptill also struck a boundary off the fifth ball and took two runs off the last, leading to Daniel Christian conceding an astonishing 30 runs in that over.
