Sixes are always hit in the game of cricket. Since the advent of T20 format, the trend of batsmen hitting sixes has increased even more. West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell is known for hitting long sixes. But the six he hit against Pakistani bowler Haris Rauf in the Major League Cricket started in America is something else altogether. In this, the ball not only covered a long distance but also touched a height which has hardly been seen before at any level of cricket. This six hit by Haris Rauf is one that he will remember for the rest of his life.
In Major League Cricket, Los Angeles Knight Riders and San Francisco Unicorns faced each other on 7 July. Knight Riders batted first in this match. Andre Russell was the most successful batsman from Knight Riders, who played an unbeaten innings of 40 runs in just 25 balls at a strike rate of 160. Russell's explosive innings included 3 sixes, one of which was the six he hit against Haris Rauf in such a way that the ball went 351 feet up.
Andre Russell hit a six against Haris Rauf when he was batting on 30 runs. Russell hit a 117 meter long six against Harris. But, the spectators were surprised not by its length but by its height, which was 351 feet.
