England captain Jos Buttler turned on his butcher mode as he ripped apart the USA’s bowling attack in his team’s clash against the USA in the T20 World Cup 2024. Buttler smashed five sixes in an over as he took down left-arm spinner Harmeet Singh for a massive 32-run over.
Buttler could well have equalled Indian icon Yuvraj Singh’s record had he faced the first ball of Harmeet’s second over, which was the 9th of the innings and hit it for a six. Phil Salt gave the strike to Buttler on the first ball, following which the English captain turned on his beast mode.
He charged down the track to clear the long-off on the first ball, before depositing a slower one towards the deep mid-wicket fence on his second ball faced. He completed the hat trick of sixes with a golf-type shot down the ground before going over square leg on a leg stump ball. The English captain ended the over with another maximum, this time smacking it towards long-on and breaking the solar panel glass.
