[WATCH] Rishabh Pant’s audacious one-handed pull shot sails over boundary line

Rishabh Pant pulled off a brilliant one-handed six in the match against CSK. The LSG skipper hit Matheesha Pathirana’s bouncer over the fence to fetch maximum runs. The Southpaw connected the ball well and did not even need a full extension of both his arms to dispatch the ball over the square leg region.

Pathirana tried to bowl yorkers on the previous delivery and bowled a couple of wides, which forced him to go short. Pant recognized the back of a length delivery and connected it well. After getting everything on his shot, Pant got the follow-through on just one of his hands, as the ball travelled into the stands.
