Melbourne Renegades player, Jacob Bethell finally showed his worth in the game's shortest format as he came to life in a must-win game for his side and smacked a valiant fifty to keep his side alive in the contest. The southpaw had shown glimpses of his batting, but the real Bethell arrived on Tuesday as he made a mockery of the Hobart attack in Big Bash League (BBL).

The Renegades had a horror start as they lost 2 quick wickets and the onus was on youngsters- Bethell and Jake Fraser-McGurk to steer the team out of a tricky situation. However, with Fraser-McGurk's run-out, the equation changed as the team found themselves in a difficult situation.

Bethell unleashes beast mode on Ellis

This was when Bethell decided to take matters in his own hands as he went berserk and decided to take on the Hurricanes bowling attack. He unleashed beast mode and smacked a couple of huge hits and took a liking towards Nathan Ellis, the CSK pacer.

After reaching the fifty with a boundary, Bethell broke the shackles and decided to target Ellis with a couple of humongous hits. The first delivery was a full-toss as he smacked one towards wide long-off and the second six was recorded towards the deep mid-wicket region as the bowler was stunned by the assault.

At one stage, Jacob Bethell was all set to reach his maiden BBL century, but he was involved in another run-out as the batter had to walk back for a well-compiled 87 off 50 balls. Courtesy of his knock, Renegades managed to score 154/7.
