Kolkata Knight Riders’ Ajinkya Rahane unleashed a towering six during an IPL match that had an unexpected follow-up — his bat flew out of his hands and shot off in the opposite direction to the ball. The moment, captured on video, shows the ball sailing over the ropes while the bat slips free and spins away, drawing gasps and laughter from the crowd and commentary box.
Rahane was unfazed by the mishap, continuing his innings after retrieving a replacement bat. The clip quickly circulated on social media, highlighting both the power of the strike and the rare, chaotic aftermath that can accompany big hitting in T20 cricket.
