Ravi Bopara, the former England all-rounder, has set the Hong Kong Sixes tournament ablaze with an astonishing feat. In a match against Robin Uthappa’s India, Bopara unleashed a barrage of sixes, hitting six consecutive maximums in an over.
Uthappa, the Indian skipper, bore the brunt of Bopara’s onslaught, conceding a staggering 37 runs in the over. Bopara’s six-hitting spree included a wide on the sixth delivery, but he made up for it with another six on the seventh.
Bopara’s pyrotechnics continued as he faced Shahbaz Nadeem, hitting another six to make it seven consecutive maximums. The former England star retired after scoring 53 runs off just 14 balls, with eight sixes to his name.
Samit Patel provided excellent support to Bopara, scoring 51 runs off 18 balls with four fours and five sixes. England’s total of 120/1 in 6 overs proved too much for India, despite cameos from Bharat Chipli, Shreevats Goswami, and Kedar Jadhav. India fell short by 15 runs, managing only 105/6 in 6 overs.
Bopara’s six-hitting spree has sent shockwaves through the tournament, with fans and experts alike marveling at his power and precision. The England skipper has emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the Hong Kong Sixes, and his performance is sure to inspire his team to greater heights.
