Series Context

The first T20 in Canberra was washed out.
Australia leads the five-match series 1-0 after winning by four wickets at the MCG.

David’s Explosive Innings

After early dismissals of Travis Head and Josh Inglis, Tim David came to the crease and dominated India’s bowlers. He raced to a 23-ball half-century, showcasing his aggressive form at the Bellerive Oval.

The Record-Breaking Six

David hit Indian spinner Axar Patel for a gigantic six down the ground that appeared destined to clear the stadium, only to strike the Ninja Stadium sign atop the David Boon Stand.

The six traveled 129 metres, marking the longest six ever recorded in T20 internationals and the biggest six documented by Fox Cricket.

This distance calculation was done by Fox Cricket’s statisticians, estimating how far the ball would have flown if it hadn't hit the sign.

Commentator Reaction

Fox Cricket’s Mark Howard exclaimed during commentary: “That’s coming into the commentary box! It was nearly in the Derwent (River)!"
