WATCH: Kyle Mayers’ classic back foot cover drive for a monstrous 105-metre six goes viral

Kyle Mayers

West Indies batter Kyle Mayers attracted lime-light after producing a monstrous six during the first T20I against Australia in Carrara Oval, Queensland on Wednesday, October 5.

Cameron Green was the bowler in the fourth over and his slight short pitched ball on the off made Mayers smash it on the backfoot over the cover region. The ball landed after covering 105-metre distance, on the second tier of the stands. Pat Cummins dismissed him in the 10th over on 39 runs (off 36 balls with five fours and that single six).
