England all-rounder Ben Stokes on Saturday smashed three consecutive sixes against Kuldeep Yadav to pile misery on the chinaman bowler in the second ODI at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium.
In the 33rd over bowled by Kuldeep, Stokes pummelled three maximums as England raced towards the 337-run target. On the second delivery of the over, Stokes hammered it over long-on for a six before he dispatched the next two deliveries over the sightscreen.
Stokes continued his six-hitting spree in the next over too, hitting three sixes and a four against Krunal Pandya. After getting to his fifty, Stokes smashed 45 runs in just 10 deliveries, including 6 sixes. He, however, missed out on a hundred as Bhuvneshwar Kumar dismissed him on 99. The left-hander made his way back after scoring a quick-fire 99 off 52 balls, laced with 4 fours and 10 sixes. (IndiaTV)
