Watch: Daryl Mitchell’s monstrous six off Arshdeep Singh nearly crushes security guard’s head

New Zealand batter Daryl Mitchell hit a powerful six off India's Arshdeep Singh that narrowly missed a security guard's head during the third T20I at Sky Stadium in Wellington on October 27, 2026. The incident occurred on the first delivery of the sixth over when Mitchell pulled a short ball flat toward the boundary, narrowly missing the unaware steward who was looking into the stands.

Mitchell, who appeared visibly concerned as the shot traveled, had scored 48 runs off 25 balls at the time of the report. Prior to the match, New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner announced three bowling changes, bringing in Matt Fisher, Adam Milne, and Kyle Jamieson to replace Matt Henry, Lockie Ferguson, and Nathan Smith.
