[WATCH] T20 World Cup 2026 warm-up: Ishan Kishan steals the show with outrageous off-balance six in IND-SA match | CricTracker

The incident took place in the fifth over when the South African speedster Anrich Nortje dug in a sharp bumper around the wicket. Kishan, momentarily confused, attempted a pulling move that at first glance looked anything but convincing.

The delivery climbed awkwardly and Kishan seemingly jumped out of the shot. However, he managed to make a few as he flew off his top edge and landed over the rope, causing the bowler to shake his head and the batsman to smile as he walked towards his batting partner Abhishek Sharma.

While the six looked happy, Kishan’s overall innings was anything but. Playing with intent and freedom, the left-hander raced to 53 off just 20 balls, giving India valuable momentum in the warm-up ahead of the T20 World Cup. He eventually withdrew, having done exactly what was expected of him in a practice match against a high quality bowling alley.

India fielded mammoth 240

It was a clinical show with the bat from the Indian batters as they posted a mammoth 240 against the Proteas as almost all other Indian batters scored at a blistering strike rate. Abhishek Sharma contributed 24 off 18 balls before retiring.

Captain Suryakumar Yadav also showed his great form and scored an impressive 30 runs off 16 balls, while Hardik Pandya, Tilka Varma, Axar Patel and Rinku Singh played handy cameos. However, Sanju Samson’s absence was the real highlight of the Indian innings.
