The coronavirus pandemic has seen the country come to a halt and many sports stars have been driven into self-isolation due to the outbreak of the deadly virus. With India under lockdown, cricketers have used the extra break in their busy schedule to engage with fans on social media. The IPL 2020, which was scheduled to begin on March 29, was postponed indefinitely due to the coronavirus pandemic. Amidst the lockdown, former Mumbai Indians captain and CSK spinner Harbhajan Singh shared a video of hitting three consecutive sixes in an IPL game against KXIP on his Instagram account.

Harbhajan Singh, during his time at Mumbai Indians, had a knack of playing crucial cameos and guide the team over the finish line. In a throwback video shared on his official Instagram account on Monday, Harbhajan can be seen smashing three consecutive sixes off Anureet Singh in the IPL 2015. Chasing a target of 178 by KXIP, Mumbai Indians struggled to get going and were reduced to 59/6 in the 14th over.

Harbhajan Singh, along with fellow spinner Jagadeesha Suchith, then stitched a 100-run stand to help the team claw back into the game, but was not enough as the Mumbai Indians lost by 18 runs. Harbhajan Singh, in the end, managed to score a whirlwind 64 off just 24 balls with 5 fours and six 6s.
