Spain opener Muhammad Babar lost his bat in one-handed shot (x.com)
Spain batter Muhammad Babar clubbed a belligerent 26-ball 83* against Czech Republic in match number five of their T10 series at the Montjuic Ground in Barcelona. Chasing 118 to win from 10 overs, the right-handed batter belted five boundaries and nine sixes in his enterprising knock to guide his side past the finishing line with nearly three overs to spare.
At one point of his innings, Babar also unfurled an audacious one-handed hoick in an attempt to bring up his team 100 in style.

During the seventh over of the Spain innings, Muhammad Babar thwacked Czech Republic pacer Sagor Hossain with a one-handed hoick. However, his audacious attempt merely landed in the vacant midwicket region, which subsequently allowed him to pick up a double.
As one can expect, the Spain opening batsman also lost his grip over the bat in the process.
