Tim David delivered an extraordinary performance during the third T20 match between Australia and India in Hobart, smashing the longest six ever recorded in T20 International cricket to help Australia post a strong total of 186.
After early dismissals of Travis Head and Josh Inglis, Tim David arrived at the crease and dominated the Indian bowling attack, quickly reaching a 50 off just 23 balls at Bellerive Oval.

David unleashed a massive six off spinner Axar Patel, which traveled an estimated 129 meters before hitting the Ninja Stadium sign atop the David Boon Stand. This remarkable hit set the record for the longest six in T20 international history and was also the biggest six tracked by Fox Cricket.
The 129-meter distance was calculated by Fox Cricket statisticians as the projected travel of the ball had it not struck the stadium sign, indicating a near-stadium clearing hit.
