The International Cricket Council (ICC) named Virat Kohli’s down-the-ground six off Haris Rauf in the T20 World Cup 2022 match the shot of the century. The announcer referred to the hit as the “shot of an emperor,” and it has its own fan base. Tabraiz Shamsi, a spinner from South Africa, has joined the group. Shamsi appeared confused when he saw the captured footage.
Prior to India hitting back-to-back sixes against Rauf, their prospects of winning were only four percent. The squad eventually recovered to win the thrilling match thanks to the two smokes above the ropes. Shamsi called the shot “unreal,” and the seriousness of the circumstance contributed to the legend of the Virat’s six. Tristan Stubbs, a teammate, pulled the leggie’s leg by encouraging the bowler to practice the shot in response to his tweet.
“Hitting THAT BALL over the bowler’s head for six was not in his league! In his “X” article, Shamsi added, “Unreal Shot!”
Stubbs said, “Do you practice that shot? I heard you’re an all-rounder.”
Here’s the Shamsi, Stubbs’ interactions:
