Jacob Bethell Smashes 104m Six: England’s 22-year-old young opener Jacob Bethell, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2026 match, showed a stormy style as soon as he arrived. He hit such a six on the ball of Kyle Jamieson that the ball fell directly on the roof of the stadium.
While Delhi’s batsmen were in bad shape in the 39th match of IPL 2026 played between Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore, on one hand, RCB’s young opener Jacob Bethel changed the mood of the match with his short but effective cameo.
This young batsman, who came to open the match in place of injured Phil Salt for RCB while chasing the small target of 76 runs, adopted an aggressive style from the very beginning. Especially in the third over, he played such a shot against Kyle Jamieson which caught everyone’s attention.
In this over, Bethel hit Jamieson’s third ball hard and hit a 104 meter long skyscraper six. This six was so huge that the ball fell directly on the roof of the stadium. This shot not only made the audience dance but also filled the RCB dressing room with excitement.
