BackIND vs WI 5th T20I: Ishan Kishan produced one of the standout moments of India’s rain-hit T20I against West Indies in Bengaluru, launching a 92-metre six off Romario Shepherd that landed on the roof of the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The left-hander’s extraordinary hit cleared the fine-leg boundary and forced the umpires to call for a replacement ball after the original went out of the ground.
The six came during India’s innings in the fifth T20I, which had been reduced to nine overs per side because of rain. Kishan moved away from his original position as Shepherd approached and adjusted brilliantly to a length delivery.
