Andre Fletcher impresses Twitterati with 'no-look' six

The second match saw Melbourne Stars going up against Brisbane Heat where it was the Stars who won by six wickets as they comprehensively chased a modest target of 126. During the chase, Stars' opener Andre Fletcher couldn't score big as he was dismissed for just 12 runs. However, despite failing Fletcher grabbed the headlines by hitting a spectacular ‘no-look’ six.

Fans got the opportunity to witness the incredible shot during the third over bowled by Xavier Bartlett. The right-arm speedster bowled a length ball which Fletcher dispatched for a huge maximum over the mid-wicket. However, it was his style of not looking towards the ball after hitting that impressed fans, as well as, commentators Adam Gilchrist and Brett Lee.

The Twitterati was in awe of the Andrew Fletcher six. Several reactions poured in as fans lauded the West Indian for the exceptional shot and flair. Here's a look at some of the best reactions.

Meanwhile, the Stars had a rather easy chase which seemed improbable after one stage when they were reduced to 34/3. Skipper Glenn Maxwell (46 off 26 balls) and Hilton Cartwright (46 off 42 balls) ensured that the Stars didn't lose the plot as they won the game by six wickets.
