The opposition team was left shellshocked, and fans were gobsmacked as Salman Nizar smacked 11 sixes off his last 13 deliveries during a Kerala Cricket League match between Calicut Globsters and Adani Trivandrum Royals, in Thiruvananthapuram on Saturday. It was a performance of pure destruction as he just made the ball fly everywhere.
In the final over against Abhijeeth Praveen, he slammed 40 runs, hitting six sixes, and the additional four runs came off a wide and a double on a no-ball. Meanwhile, in the over before that, he hammered Basil Thampi for five sixes and a single off the final ball.
He remained unbeaten on 86 off only 26 balls as Calicut posted 186/6. Meanwhile, Calicut’s Maruthingal Ajinas also played a good knock, registering 51 off 50 balls, consisting of three fours and four maximums.
Meanwhile, a three-wicket haul by Akhul Scaria saw Calicut crumble for 173 in 19.3 overs.
