RCB star hits Axar Patel for a massive six onto the stadium roof in AUS vs IND 2025 3rd T20I [Watch]

Australia and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) hard-hitter Tim David belted a 129-meter six during the ongoing third T20I against India at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart on Sunday, November 2. The six was hit straight down the ground, and struck the stadium’s roof before landing onto the ground.

The maximum came in the seventh over of the innings as Suryakumar Yadav turned to Axar Patel for his first over after the powerplay. Although David began with a dot against the left-arm spinner, the Singapore-born cricketer blasted two sixes off his next three deliveries.

The maximum that went onto the roof came on the fourth delivery, travelling a staggering 129 meters.

Even as wickets continued to fall, David went hard after the Indian bowlers, bringing up his half-century off only 22 deliveries. He joined hands with captain Mitchell Marsh in the third over of the innings and built a 59-run stand before the latter fell for 11 off 14 balls.

David was dismissed by Shivam Dube as he tried to cart a six over the cover region, only for Tilak Varma to take an outstanding catch. The RCB star had to walk back for 74 off 38 balls.
