Afghanistan's wicketkeeper-batter Rahmanullah Gurbaz smashed a massive six out of the ground against Pakistan-born USA pacer Mohammad Mohsin in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 on Thursday, September 5. The match was played between Guyana Amazon Warriors and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots at Warner Park in Basseterre.
The stunning shot came during the eighth over of Guyana’s innings. Mohsin bowled a delivery on the slot and Gurbaz picked the ball right from the middle of the bat to help it sail over the stands. The ball hit the stadium’s roof before going out of the ground, disappearing in the night sky.
Sharing the video on X, CPL’s official handle wrote:
“Gurbaz has a six traveling a LONG wayyy! Just like Caribbean Airlines.”
