These days most cricket fans are focused on the India-Sri Lanka series. Team India won the T20 series comfortably but has struggled in the ODI series. The first match was tied and it lost the second. Team India lost the second ODI on Sunday, in which Sri Lankan leg-spinner Jeffrey Vandersay created havoc by taking 6 wickets. So, Vandersay is being discussed at the moment. But while Vandersay was wreaking havoc with his balls in Colombo, thousands of miles away a player was single-handedly destroying the opponent with his batting and bowling.

On the evening of Sunday, 4th August, a spectacle of fast-paced cricket was seen at the historic Lord's ground in England, which does not happen every day. These days 'The Hundred' tournament is being played in England, in which Oval Invincibles and London Spirit competed. In this match, Oval batted first and scored 147 runs in 100 balls, losing 5 wickets. In response, the entire London team collapsed for 117 runs in 95 balls and lost by 30 runs.

Rain of earlier sixes

2-3 players contributed well in this easy victory at the Oval but there was only one star - Sam Curran. England's experienced cricketer gave a true all-rounder performance and single-handedly broke the back of London. Sam Curran first created havoc with the bat and scored 51 runs in just 22 balls, which included 6 sixes. If this was not enough, then after this he wreaked havoc with his bowling and single-handedly dismissed half the team.

Then took a flurry of wickets

Left-handed medium pacer Karan conceded only 16 runs in his 20 balls and took 5 wickets. The most special thing is that he also took a hat-trick during this period. He completed his memorable hat-trick by taking the wickets of Liam Dawson, Ollie Stone and Andre Russell on the 89th, 90th and 91st balls. The interesting thing is that Karan conceded only 2 runs in 9 consecutive balls between 87 and 95 balls and took all his 5 wickets. Overall, the London team lost 6 wickets for 2 runs in 11 balls and collapsed for 117 runs.

WE'VE GOT A HAT-TRICK AT LORD'S
