ملخص مفصل

Disha Kasat smashed a record 10 sixes in an innings to become the first Indian batter to achieve the feat in a Women’s T20 match. Her unbeaten 91 off 54 balls powered Vidarbha to an eight-wicket win over Delhi in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy.

Disha Kasat etched her name in the record books with a sensational six-hitting display in the Senior Women’s T20 Trophy, becoming the first Indian batter to smash 10 sixes in a Women’s T20 innings. The Vidarbha batter also moved past Shafali Verma’s previous Indian record of nine sixes in an innings, producing a remarkable display of power-hitting in Ahmedabad.

Kasat’s 10 sixes came during an unbeaten 91 off just 54 balls, which helped Vidarbha register an eight-wicket win over Delhi in the Super League stage of the tournament on Saturday at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B, Ahmedabad. She struck two fours and 10 sixes, taking her team to the target of 170 with 15 balls to spare.

Before Kasat’s effort, Shafali held the Indian record after hitting nine sixes against Bangladesh in the Asian Games during her maiden T20I century earlier this year. The overall record, however, remains with Lizelle Lee, who smashed 12 sixes for Hobart Hurricanes Women against Perth Scorchers in the Women’s Big Bash League in Sydney in 2024.

Yashshri Soley was Vidarbha’s most successful bowler, returning figures of two for 34. Kasat then took charge of the chase, building a match-winning 106-run partnership with Mona Meshram, who remained unbeaten on 43 off 24 balls. Their stand ensured Vidarbha crossed the finish line comfortably.

Kasat’s record-breaking knock adds another chapter to her growing domestic career. She was previously part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru in the Women’s Premier League (WPL), before being picked up by Mumbai Indians for Rs 10 lakh at the WPL 2027 auction.

The 29-year-old will now look to carry her remarkable form into her new stint with Mumbai Indians, having delivered one of the most…
