Aiden Markram continued his aggressive charge in Lucknow as he smashed a third six of his innings, this time off Mumbai Indians skipper Hardik Pandya. The moment came on the very first ball of the 11th over — a short delivery outside off — which Markram slashed powerfully over third man for a maximum.
The South African batter showed excellent timing and awareness, using the pace to perfection. What added to the drama was Pandya’s stunned reaction, visibly in disbelief as the ball sailed over the ropes. Markram now looks well-set to anchor LSG’s innings after Mitchell Marsh’s blistering 60-run knock earlier.
The hosts are scoring at an impressive rate, and Markram’s fearless approach has put the pressure squarely back on Mumbai.
