It is all happening in BBL as 41-year-old Dan Christian has hogged the internet after he whacked PBKS' new star Xavier Bartlett for a 92-metre six in the ongoing match between Sydney Thunder and Brisbane Heat. Notably, it is Christian's first match since BBL 12.

It is worth noting that the Thunder lost two-star players to injuries in a nasty collision in their previous match against Perth Scorchers. Since the Thunder were short of players, assistant coach Dan Christian had to come out of retirement to help the side in crisis.
