Watch: Rashid Khan's "Outrageous" Six To Tim Southee In The Hundred Goes Viral
Playing for Oval Invincibles against Birmingham Phoenix in the 100-ball-per-side match, Rashid slammed former New Zealand pacer Tim Southee for a stunning six. He shuffled across the stumps even before the right-arm pacer delivered the ball. As Southee went for a fuller one onto the pads of Rashid, the batter nonchalantly flicked it over the deep square leg for a flat six.

The video of the six was shared was The Hundred on social media. "Unbelievable shot," wrote a fan. "Outrageous," wrote another one.
Rashid ended up scoring 16 runs off 9 balls with the help of two sixes, helping Oval Invincibles post 180 for 8 in the allotted 100 balls.
Talking about the game, Birmingham Phoenix won the contest by 4 wickets.
Some days ago, Rashid opened up that he made a mistake by returning to cricket just a few months after a back surgery following the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, which led to a decline in his performance. The spinner also admitted that, in desperation to perform well in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 with Gujarat Titans (GT), he over-exerted himself in the training, feeling he was "letting his team down."
The IPL 2025 season was Rashid's worst ever, as he took nine wickets in 15 matches, averaging a disappointing 57.11 and leaking runs at an economy rate of 9.34. He was taken to the cleaners by the capped and uncapped talent alike as he was tonked for 33 sixes. The season saw him struggle with his speed and accuracy. However, following a two-month break after the IPL, Rashid has come back better than ever.

Ideally Not For Surgery For Now But...: Chris Woakes Gives Major Update On His Dislocated Shoulder Ahead Of Ashes Series
After a gruelling Test series against India which ended in 2-2 draw, England will shift their attention to the Ashes Down Under later this year and experienced pacer Chris Woakes has shared a major update on his shoulder injury. Woakes, who sustained a dislocated shoulder while fielding during the fifth Test against India earlier this month, believes he's recovering better than he anticipated. Speaking on the sidelines of The Hundred, the England quick made an appearance without an arm sling. "Certainly good news for me. That's the best way to look at it. Obviously out of the sling and feel like I can move it a lot better now which is good two weeks down the line," Woakes told Sky Sports. "I suppose once you get a little bit more movement into it, feels little bit more normal. But still a lot of work to do. Going to try and (stay) focused on the rehab and get it as strong as possible. Ideally not for surgery for now but we'll see how that goes and hopefully we can get it nice and strong again," he added.

The 36-year-old Woakes had picked up a nasty injury on the opening day of the series decider against India at The Oval, London. Despite being ruled out of action for the remainder of the Test, Woakes walked out to bat with his left arm in a sling on a tense final morning as England chased a series-clinching victory, but fell short by six runs. After the series against India, Ben Stokes-led England have another five-Test series assignment against arch-rivals Australia, starting November 21.

"Before A Match, I Would Automatically...": Pragyan Ojha Shares Cricketing Superstition
Former Indian spinner Pragyan Ojha shared his long-standing superstition. He mentioned that he always called his family before a match, but a missed call due to poor network in Sri Lanka led to him becoming Muttiah Muralitharan's 800th wicket. Ojha last played an international game in 2013, which was also the retirement match for Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar at the Wankhede Stadium. In the game, he managed to take ten wickets and was awarded the Player of the Match. Speaking on 'Cheeky Singles', Pragyan Ojha said, "Whenever I used to get in the team bus before a match, I would automatically call my mom, then my dad. Even if both of them were sitting together, I'd call them separately. Then I'd call my uncle, who was a cricketer and the one who inspired me to take up the game. Even if I had called my uncle 10 minutes before the match, he would have picked up. But in Sri Lanka, at that time, there was no network, and the call didn't go through. Because of that, I became Muttiah Muralitharan's 800th wicket." The 33-year-old Ojha had made his international debut in 2008 against Bangladesh in Karachi. A year later, he went on to make his Test debut against Sri Lanka . The spinner went on to play 24 Tests, 18 ODIs and six T20Is for India and finished with a total of 144 wickets in the international game. In the longest format of the game, he managed to take 113 wickets, with the best bowling figures of 6-47. He was last seen in action in 2018 as he played a first-class match in Dehradun. He also made a name for himself in the Indian Premier League as he played for the Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians. He was a key member of the Deccan Chargers IPL-winning team in 2009. He last played a match in the premier tournament in 2015 for the Mumbai Indians.

Chris Woakes shows positive recovery from dislocated shoulder ahead of Ashes series
England pacer Chris Woakes has provided a welcome boost to the team's Ashes preparations by revealing positive news on his recovery from a dislocated shoulder. The 35-year-old sustained the injury while fielding during the fifth and final Test against India at The Oval earlier this month but is optimistic about his who has been a key figure in England's attack across formats, was ruled out of the remainder of the match after the incident. However, in a show of remarkable grit, he returned to bat on the tense final morning with his left arm in a sling as England pushed for a series-clinching win. Despite his efforts, the hosts fell just six runs to Sky Sports on the sidelines of The Hundred, Woakes appeared without the sling for the first time in public since the injury, signaling an important step in his recovery. "Certainly good news for me. That's the best way to look at it," Woakes said. "Obviously out of the sling and I feel like I can move it a lot better now, which is good two weeks down the line. "I suppose once you get a little bit more movement into it, it feels a little bit more normal. But there's still a lot of work to do. I'm going to try and stay focused on the rehab and get it as strong as possible. Ideally, I won't need surgery for now, but we'll see how that goes and hopefully we can get it nice and strong again."Earlier this month, Woakes had told BBC Sport that he was still deciding whether to undergo surgery or opt solely for rehabilitation. His latest comments suggest that, for the time being, he is favouring the non-surgical route in a bid to be fit for the first Test of the series against Australia begins in Perth on 21 November, giving Woakes just over three months to complete his recovery. England's selectors will be encouraged by the prospect of having the experienced seamer available, particularly given his ability to contribute with both bat and injury was one of the most dramatic moments of the India series, occurring on the opening day of the decider. His decision to bat despite the dislocation was widely praised as a sign of his commitment to the team's cause.- EndsMust Watch
