Different record:
In this situation, Jose Butler set a different record during yesterday’s match against Bangalore. That meant he was the opening batsman of the match, hitting 47 off 47 balls and hitting six sixes to score 70 * at a strike rate of 148.94. The surprising thing is that he didn’t even hit a four as he would have acted like an acting hero during that innings. Former Indian cricketer Wasim Jaffer has also jokingly praised this on his social media page. Because hitting fours is usually easier than hitting sixes.
