Watch KL Rahul hit one out of the park

KL Rahul emerged with guns blazing after Shreyas Iyer's departure, launching a relentless assault on the Australian bowlers with some extraordinary strokes. However, one particular shot from him garnered huge applause as he sent the ball soaring high into the sky. In the 35th over, Rahul smashed a colossal six off Cameron Green that traveled a whopping 94 meters and went on the stadium's roof.

Green had bowled a delivery in the perfect slot, and the Indian captain quickly positioned himself to dispatch it over deep mid-wicket. The ball cleared the stadium boundary much to the delight of the fans and commentators alike. A video of the gigantic six is now doing rounds on various social media handles.
