[WATCH] IND vs OMA, Asia Cup 2025: Hammad Mirza hammered Kuldeep Yadav for two back-to-back 6s

The way the Oman cricket team batted against India (IND vs OMA), the champion of the T20I World Cup, was unbelievable. As the team India already moved into the Super 4s, they rested their best bowlers for today's (September 19, 2025) match. Still, without Jasprit Bumrah and Varun Chakravarthy, the bowling line-up of the Men in Blue was strong on paper. 

In reality, against a lower-ranked team, Oman, bowlers struggled to get breakthroughs. As the innings progressed, Oman batters tried to put pressure on the paddle to increase the run rate. During the crucial moment of the second innings, the match was nicely poised for a thrilling ending, Yadav Kuldeep Yadav conceded back-to-back 6s.

Hammad Mirza hit two consecutive over-boundaries against India's ace spinner. India, after winning the toss, elected to bat first. They registered a strong total of 188 in their 20-over limit, which looked enough to beat down the opponent team. India, as expected, won the match but won with toil.

Back-to-back two 6s against Kuldeep Yadav 

Oman captain and opener Jatinder Singh scored 32, 43-year-old Aamir Kaleem got 64, and Hammad Mirza snatched 51 runs. India captain Surya Kumar Yadav used 8 different bowlers in the process. Oman had enough wickets in their hand, but their run rate was too slow to chase down the target. 

In the first two balls of the 16th over against Kuldeep Yadav. On the first ball of the over, Mirza went deep in his crease and smacked the ball over the deep mid-wicket fence for a maximum. On the following delivery, Yadav offered a full and around-middle delivery. Mirza was prepared for that. He sweeps it over the deep square-leg fence for another six.
