Sambhaji Patil is popular for hitting sixes

Mumbai cop Sambhaji Patil has come to be known as the Sixer King, and the crown sits well on him, thanks to his exploits in Season 2 of the Indian Street Premier League (ISPL).

The Chris Gayle fan’s relentless six-hitting spree in the first two editions of the in-stadium T10 tennis ball tournament has been nothing short of impressive.
He has smashed three sixes in eight innings this year, while 11 maximums came off his blade last year. His 51 runs this year have come at a strike rate of 118.60.
The 39-year-old right-hander’s journey began in 2006 when he was selected for the Maharashtra Police Force. Soon after, he became part of the department’s athletics team, competing primarily in 100m and 200m sprints. While excelling in athletics, Patil never let go of his deep-rooted passion for cricket.
