Aiden Markram's six nearly injured cheerleaders Photograph: (Screengrab/X/Star Sports )
The veteran LSG opener Aiden Markram played a brilliant knock of 52 runs against DC in the 40th match of the ongoing Indian Premier League 2025 (IPL 2025). He smashed two fours and three sixes in this game at the BRSABV Ekana Stadium in Lucknow. He also stitched a brilliant 87-run opening partnership with Mitchell Marsh in 10 overs.
Meanwhile, what attracted the eyeballs was Aiden Markram’s huge six off Mitchell Marsh that almost happened to hit the cheerleaders in the stands. The moment came on the fourth ball of the second over, and Markram took his front foot to work and smashed a high and long six over the square leg region.
The video of Aiden Markra almost injuring the cheerleaders with his amazing six off Mitchell Starc also went viral on social media as soon as it was shared by the official broadcasters on their official X handle (formerly Twitter).
Here’s the video:
