Watch: Former Mumbai Indians star unleashes mad shot for six in SA20 game for Sunrisers Eastern Cape

A former Mumbai Indians (MI) cricketer has been taking the SA 20 2024 by storm and once again made headlines after hitting an outrageous six. During a fixture between Sunrisers Eastern Cape and MI Cape Town, the ex-MI star executed a remarkable unorthodox shot against MI Cape Town skipper Kieron Pollard.

Although the ball was directed towards the stumps, Tristan Stubbs opted for a reverse sweep, sending the ball sailing for a six towards the off-side. Stubbs contributed with a valuable 23 runs from 13 balls, significantly propelling the team to a competitive first innings total.

A week earlier during a match against Durban Super Giants, the Proteas hit a massive sixer that landed on the road. 

After joining as a replacement player in IPL 2022 for Mumbai Indians, he has now joined the Delhi Capitals squad for the upcoming IPL 2024 season. The highly rated right-handed batter, who had registered himself at a base price of Rs 50 lakh managed to attract bids only from Delhi Capitals and was sold at his base price.
