In a moment of sheer brilliance, Sam Curran sent shockwaves through the stadium with a jaw-dropping 117-metre six off Scott Kuggeleijn during the ILT20 2025 final. The left-handed all-rounder, known for his fearless stroke play, unleashed his power in spectacular fashion, producing what was arguably the biggest hit of the season.

Sam Curran blasts a towering 117-metre six off Scott Kuggeleijn

In the 19th over, Kuggeleijn delivered a short-of-a-length ball angling away outside off, but Curran was quick to anticipate it. Standing deep inside his crease, he used his strong base and immense bat speed to whip the ball over deep mid-wicket with a full-blooded swing. The ball rocketed off his bat, soaring into the night sky before disappearing into the top tier of the stadium, sending the crowd into a frenzy.

The sheer magnitude of the hit was evident from the way the ball traveled, clearing the boundary with ease and leaving the bowler in disbelief. Even the fielders could do nothing but watch as it sailed beyond their reach, highlighting Curran’s ability to dominate the opposition under pressure. His monstrous strike not only boosted his team’s total at a crucial juncture but also underlined the evolution of power-hitting in modern T20 cricket.
