The onslaught begins: Priyansh Arya hits 6 sixes in an 0ver

Arya’s explosive performance began with a towering shot over long-off as he confidently stepped down the pitch. The second delivery saw Arya execute a textbook left-hander’s shot, elegantly going down on one knee to send the ball sailing over deep mid-wicket. The third ball met a similar fate, soaring over long-on, and by this time, the crowd was on its feet, fully aware that something special was happening. Arya continued his onslaught, smashing the fourth ball out of the park, and the final two deliveries faced the same fate. With this, Arya etched his name into the annals of cricket history, becoming only the third Indian to hit six sixes in an over, joining the elite ranks of Ravi Shastri and Yuvraj Singh.

North Delhi Strikers face an uphill battle

Siddhartha Solanki and Pranshu Vijayran were the only bowlers who managed to take wickets, with Solanki picking up 3/52 and Vijayran taking 2/39. Despite their efforts, the rest of the bowling attack proved ineffective, conceding runs at an alarming rate.

Now, the Strikers need 309 runs in their 20 overs, a monumental task if they are to stay in the game.
