Seeing the opposition, getting a quick start, Warner turned to his trump card T Natarajan who is a Yorker specialist. He, was brought in the hope that, the batsmen would play him with, a bit more care. However, Warner was in for a shock, with what happened next.

The first ball Natarajan bowled, was a length ball and right into the hitting, zone of Shubhman Gill. He just made a bit, of room by clearing the front leg, and launched Natarajan for a six over, long on. The best and amusing part, about this stroke was that while hitting the shot, Gill did not even look, at the shot.

Such was the confidence of him, in his shot that he did not bother to look up and see whether the ball, was actually going over the ropes or not. However, the ball did travel for six. Hence, it was a no look six by the youngster from Punjab.
