After IPL, if any league has the most explosive batting, then it is definitely the Caribbean Premier League. The same is being seen once again in CPL 2024. Once again, an amazing combination of class and power-hitting is being seen in this league. The same was seen in the 19th match of CPL 2024. Against Guyana Amazon Warriors, Trinbago Knight Riders batsman Shakare Paris hit a shot that stunned the world. The 21-year-old player hit a 124-meter long six which is the second longest six in cricket history.

Shakkere Paris hit this six off Guyana's left-arm spinner Gudkesh Moti. He hit Moti's flighted delivery over mid-wicket. The shot connected so well that the ball went out of the stadium. The big thing is that this is the longest six of CPL, although the longest six in cricket history still belongs to former South African all-rounder Albie Morkel.

If we talk about the longest sixes in cricket history, then Albie Morkel is at the forefront in this matter, who hit a 125-meter-long six while playing for Chennai Super Kings in 2008. Now the name of Shakekar Paris has also been added to this list. Apart from him, Praveen Kumar has also hit a 124-meter-long six. Adam Gilchrist has a 122-meter-long six to his name.

Shakkere Paris not only hit a 124-meter-long six but his team Trinbago Knight Riders also won the match. The team got a target of 149 runs which it achieved 4 balls earlier. Andre Russell scored 36 runs and Tim David scored 31 runs to make the team win the match. Shakkere Paris played an innings of 29 runs.
