Men’s Hundred | Twitter and Pollard go berserk after smacking Rashid Khan for five consecutive sixes

Courtesy of a solid opening partnership between Adam Lyth and Tom Banton, Trent Rockets posted a total of 126/8 in their 20 overs. In response, Southern Brave started strongly with openers James Vince and Alex Davies reaching 39/0 in five overs. However, their middle order struggled as Trent's youngster John Turner took a superb three-wicket haul, leaving the Brave at 78/6 after 18 overs. Facing the daunting task of needing 49 runs off 20 balls, the spotlight was on Kieron Pollard for a potential match-winning performance.

Rashid Khan was handed the 17th set, tasked with dismissing the dangerous Pollard. The first delivery saw Pollard send a length ball sailing to cow corner for a six. Rashid's next ball was a leg break which was similarly dispatched over long-off. As Rashid began to panic, he delivered a fuller ball which Pollard smashed over the Afghanistan captain's head for another massive six. In an electrifying display, the big-hitter continued the assault, hitting the last two deliveries of Rashid’s over for consecutive monstrous sixes. This record-breaking performance thrilled the packed crowd in Southampton and sent waves of excitement through social media as fans celebrated Pollard’s extraordinary hitting.
