Hitting a six can thrill and surprise the crowd, but it’s rare for a batter to be taken by surprise after striking one himself. Such a moment occurred in the third Test between India and New Zealand when Daryl Mitchell launched a massive six, exclaiming in awe, “Woah, that’s big!”

‌New Zealand had a tough time with the bat after losing Devon Conway earlier in the day. Washington Sundar took two key wickets, dismissing Kiwi skipper Tom Latham for 28 and Rachin Ravindra, leaving New Zealand at 92/3 at lunch. After the break, despite the heat leading to several drinks breaks, Will Young scored a half-century, and he and Daryl Mitchell put together a solid 70-run partnership, advancing the score to 142/3. The breakthrough came when Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Young for 71 and quickly followed with the wicket of Tom Blundell, while Mitchell continued to fight, scoring a fifty before Jadeja claimed Glenn Phillips, leaving New Zealand at 192/6 by tea. However, after tea, Mitchell shifted gears and began to play more aggressively, with one of the standout moments being a massive six that left him in shock.

On the first ball of the 64th over, Washington Sundar delivered a fuller ball outside off stump, which Daryl Mitchell expertly timed and struck. The ball soared over the long-on area for a massive six, landing in the top tier of the Wankhede Stadium. In a humorous moment, as the ball flew toward the stands, Mitchell watched in disbelief, exclaiming, “Woah, that’s big,” indicating his astonishment at his own powerful shot. The Twitterverse quickly praised Mitchell's muscle power, celebrating the impressive display.

Woww!! That's big!!

Yeah!

He was lonely warrior!

Haha!
