‌WI vs AFG | Twitter reacts to power-packed Pooran going berserk as Omarzai leaks 36 runs

With West Indies score reading 37/1 halfway through the powerplay, Rashid summoned Omarzai, who outdid Brandon King in the second over. An outside edge six off the first ball paved the way for a no-ball four and five wides. Subsequently, a dot ball followed before the last four legitimate deliveries of the over-extracted 20 runs including a couple of sixes over deep mid-wicket and long off. Eventually, the scoreboard skyrocketed to 92/1 after the powerplay, the highest-ever in a T20 World Cup. This also the second instance where an over leaked 36 runs in T20 World Cup after Yuvraj Singh smashed six consecutive sixes against Stuart Broad in 2007. 

Seeing audacious Pooran doing what he does, the Twitterverse erupted.

Nicholas Pooran scored 36 runs of a single over (including extras) vs Afghanistan.



Equaled the record of Yuvraj Singh in the World Cup.
