Watch: RCB star smashes six into neighbourhood house en route sensational first-class hundred
The allrounder completed his century from 138 balls with a six and a three.
Australia and RCB allrounder Cameron Green is playing Sheffield Shield right now. The right-hander looked in sparkling form ahead of the IPL which bodes well for his side Royal Challengers Bangalore. The match is being played between Tasmania and Western Australia at the Bellerive Oval, Hobart.
Chasing a stiff target of 450 runs, Western Australia were 86-2 when Green came in to bat. He formed a solid partnership with opener Cameron Bancroft to take Western Australia’s innings back on track. When Green was batting on 91, he pulled a huge six towards mid-wicket off the bowling of fast bowler Bradley Hope.
