AUS vs WI 2022: “You are not allowed to do this!” – Gautam Gambhir stunned by Kyle Mayers’ monstrous six

Former Indian cricketer Gautam Gambhir was completely stunned by an astounding shot from West Indies batter Kyle Mayers. The southpaw smashed a breathtaking six into the second tier during the first T20I against Australia in Queensland on Wednesday (October 5).

The incident occurred in the fourth over bowled by Cameron Green. Mayers cleared his front leg, punched it from the back foot and timed it to perfection over sweeper cover.

Reacting to the stellar shot, Gambhir wrote on Twitter:

Opening the batting, Mayers top-scored for the Windies with 39 runs off 36 balls, which included a six and five fours. He helped West Indies reach 145/9 in 20 overs. Josh Hazlewood scalped three wickets while Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins took a couple of wickets each. Meanwhile, Green also picked up a wicket.

The Aussies will look to bounce back strongly after losing the recently concluded T20I series against India.

The defending champions will also look to put their best foot forward on home soil in the T20 World Cup later this month.
