WCL 2024 | Twitter in splits as Dwayne Smith’s mammoth six damages nearby coffee van
A batter smashing a six can dazzle the crowd, but when it crashes into your livelihood, suddenly your daily grind takes an unexpected hit. Such was the hilarious scene in the WCL game between the Pakistan Champions and West Indies Champions where Dwayne Smith’s six dented a coffee van.
In the first semi-final of the World Championship of Legends, Pakistan faced West Indies at Northampton. The Men in Green struggled initially with the bat, reaching 95/4 in 12 overs before Younis Khan accelerated to a 35-ball fifty. Aamer Yamin's blistering 40 off 18 balls and Sohail Tanvir's quickfire 33 off 17 charged Pakistan to 198/8 in their 20 overs. West Indies' response began steadily with Dwayne Smith and Chris Gayle taking them to 31/0 in five overs. After Gayle and Chadwick Walton departed, the spotlight was on Smith to lead the charge. In the ninth over, a hilarious incident unfolded when the opener smashed a maximum off Wahab Riaz's delivery.
On the fourth ball of the ninth over, Wahab Riaz bowled a length ball towards the leg stump. Furthermore, the 41-year-old Barbadian star judged the line well and aimed for a maximum. Additionally, he dispatched the white rock over deep mid-wicket, sending it soaring into the evening sky of Northampton. The ball, however, had other plans as it landed on top of the coffee van parked beside the gallery, delighting spectators who were purchasing coffee. The van's owner had a mixed reaction as the ball left an unmistakable dent, prompting humorous commentary from the broadcasters about potential insurance claims. Twitter erupted with laughter over the incident, with users sharing the amusing turn of events across social media.
What a shot!

Can't compare
You can't compare the physical effort of badminton or any athletic game with cricket. Even, Inzamam up Haque, Chris Gayle or Azam khan plays international games even though their physical fitness is zero. So, Sania is right. Russia declines it as a sport bcuz of this reason only

World championship of Legends 2024
Legends
Though it is called "World Championship of Legends", most of the players in various teams cannot be termed "legends". For instance, Vinay Kumar in Indian team. He is a medium pacer who is legendary for the trashing he received from Warner on fast bowling paradise Perth .
