IND vs WI 5th T20I: Ishan Kishan produced one of the standout moments of India’s rain-hit T20I against West Indies in Bengaluru, launching a 92-metre six off Romario Shepherd that landed on the roof of the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. The left-hander’s extraordinary hit cleared the fine-leg boundary and forced the umpires to call for a replacement ball after the original went out of the ground.

Getting down on one knee, Kishan swept the ball powerfully over fine leg. The shot travelled an estimated 92 metres before landing on the stadium roof, leaving spectators stunned by the sheer distance and power behind the stroke.
With the original ball disappearing out of the ground, the umpires had to arrange a replacement. The incident added another dramatic moment to a contest already affected by repeated rain interruptions.
Ishan Kishan Delivers When India Need A Quick Start
With the match shortened to just nine overs per side, India needed to score quickly from the outset. Kishan responded with an aggressive approach, putting pressure on the West Indies bowlers and making the most of the limited time available.
The left-handed batter scored 30 off just 10 deliveries, striking three fours and two sixes at a strike rate of 300, according to the match scorecard. His innings provided India with early momentum before he was caught by Rovman Powell off Shamar Joseph.
Kishan’s six off Shepherd stood out for its distance and execution, underlining his ability to clear the boundary even against a length delivery. The hit also gave fans a memorable highlight from a match in which rain ultimately had the final say.
India reached 118/5 in 7.4 overs before further rain interrupted play. The fifth T20I ended without a result, leaving the five-match series tied 2-2.
