Ranking top 10 'thug life' moments in cricket history
Several savage moments have been witnessed over the 22 yards.
5. Sreesanth’s famous six off Andre Nel
While S Sreesanth was mostly popular for his fiery spells with the ball, he smashed Andre Nel for a famous six during the first Test of India’s 2007 tour of South Africa. The venue was Johannesburg and Sreesanth was on a roll. His five-for restricted the Proteas to 84 in the first innings.
During India’s second innings, he came out to bat at number 10 and not much was expected from the tail-ender. However, Sreesanth stunned everyone by smashing a sensational maximum. Apparently, the Indian pacer was fired up by his South African counterpart Andre Nel. The Proteas fast bowler said something to Sreesanth after bowling a bouncer.
On the very next ball, Sreesanth charged down the track and hit Nel for a straight six. He didn’t just stop there. After reaching the non-striker’s end, he was seen dancing all the way which entertained one and all.
