When it comes to T20 leagues, few things are as magical as watching a veteran of the game display their class. Such was the scene in a Hundred match between Southern Brave and Northern Superchargers, where Kieron Pollard smashed a 103-meter six straight into the top tier at Headingley.

‌A packed Headingley awaited the eighth match of the Hundred as Southern Brave faced off against Northern Superchargers. Riding high from their first victory, Southern Brave's skipper James Vince won the toss and opted to bat first. However, the innings got off to a rocky start when the Superchargers' bowlers claimed the crucial wickets of Vince, Leus du Plooy, and Alex Davies within the first 50 deliveries. With the team in a precarious position, all eyes turned to Kieron Pollard to inject some momentum into the Brave's innings. And boy did the Caribbean powerhouse deliver.

On the 92nd delivery, Superchargers' skipper Harry Brook handed the ball to Mitchell Santner. The Kiwi spinner delivered a back-of-a-length ball aimed outside the off stump. The Carribean legend used his impeccable timing and rocked onto the back foot, launching the ball straight down the ground. The shot soared through the blue sky and landed in the top tier of the stadium. In a humorous twist, the ball came to rest beside a cameraman in the gallery. The cameraman retrieved the ball and playfully held it up for another camera, eliciting cheers from the crowd. The moment quickly went viral on Twitter, where fans couldn't stop talking about Pollard's incredible power and skill.

What a shot!
