Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) most destructive batsman Brendon McCullum played the most innovative shot in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) season 2018 to clear the boundary for a six over wicket-keepers head during the match between RCB and Mumbai Indians (MI) at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on May 1.
With this shot, McCullum also created history by becoming the first batsman in this IPL season to score 13 runs off just 1 ball.

The incident happened during the 10th over of RCB’s innings when Hardik Pandya bowled a no-ball to McCullum only to get hit for a six. It was the second ball of the over when Pandya bowled the above-waist full-toss to McCullum, who had stepped down from his crease to play the shot. The ball took the thick edge to clear the rope over third-man. The batsman got a free-hit.
