Melbourne Renegades' star Jacob Bethell, who is a part of Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) for IPL 2025, slammed a monstrous maximum in their on-going 20th match of the Big Bash League (BBL) against Adelaide Strikers. Bethell's six went far and straight into the stands as fans  were left in disbelief.

Bethell, who is playing his first season in BBL, looked courageous and care-free as he slammed a 96-metre long six off Cameron Boyce onto the second deck. Although, the England player departed shortly after this shot, he played an impressive 21 run cameo where he slammed a six and a boundary. 

In the 11th over, Boyce bowled a short length delivery on the stumps, Bethell went deep inside his crease and pulled it powerfully over the mid-wicket fence for a big shot. The Southpaw used the depth of the crease wonderfully as his jaw-dropping six travelled straight to the second tier.

REN vs STR: What is happening?

The Melbourne Renegades posted 142/9 in their 20 overs against Adelaide Strikers, with the latter's bowlers dominating the second half of the innings. Jake Fraser-McGurk struggled early and was dismissed by Brendan Doggett during the power-play. Josh Brown provided the primary resistance, accelerating past his fifty, including three sixes off Lloyd Pope's first over. 

Brown shared a 47-run partnership with Bethell for the third wicket, but a mini-collapse followed, with the Renegades losing six wickets by the 15th over. Brown top-scored with 66, while the rest of the batting faltered. Doggett (1/19) and Henry Thornton (1/23) were the standout bowlers for the Strikers, while Pope and Overton took two wickets each. Cameron Boyce also claimed a scalp.
