Urvil’s six-hitting carnage: 200-6s-a-day, Dhoni’s special bat and a promise

Urvil Patel’s explosive 65 off 23 balls against Lucknow Super Giants announced the arrival of CSK’s newest six-hitting sensation. The wicketkeeper-batter smashed six sixes within his first eight balls, rewrote IPL records. Backed by advice, and even a specially weighted bat from MS Dhoni, Urvil’s power-hitting philosophy is shaped by a gruelling routine of 200 practice sixes a day.
