MI New York’s star batter Shayan Jahangir smashed an amazing 104-meter six in the second qualifier of MLC 2023 against Texas Super Kings. The more interesting thing about this six smashed by Shayan Jahangir is that it came against the lethal 151kmph delivery from TSK’s pacer Gerald Coetzee.
Jahangir smashed this six on the fifth ball of the fifth over when MI New York were chasing the target of 159 runs posted by TSK. The video of this sensational six by Jahangir started making rounds on social media as soon as it was posted by Major League Cricket on their official Twitter handle.
