The ever-exciting IPL keeps adding milestones to its name! The tournament recently witnessed its 12,000th six during a thrilling match between Delhi Capitals (DC) and Chennai Super Kings (CSK).
This massive six was struck by Australian all-rounder Mitchell Marsh. It came at a crucial moment for DC, after they lost their openers early. Marsh’s six over deep square leg against CSK speedster Deepak Chahar, not only boosted the team’s score but also marked a special moment in IPL history.
In match number 13 of the IPL 2024 in Vizag, after the sudden dismissals of their well-set openers David Warner and Prithvi Shaw, Marsh’s brutal helped DC make way over the falling run-rate and get back on track. Batting at no. 4 Marsh joined Rishabh Pant, cautiously making only 8 runs in the first 8 balls. It was in the 14th over when Marsh sent the ball by Deepak Chahar flying for a much-needed six, marking the six number 12000 of the IPL.
Rishabh Pant, the DC captain, also joined the party by adding a few more sixes to the IPL’s ever-growing tally. His quickfire knock of 51 runs in 32 balls included three maximums, helping DC reach a competitive total of 191 runs.
Opener David Warner also chipped in with three sixes during his 52-run knock, showcasing the kind of batting fireworks that have made the IPL a global phenomenon.
