Australian batter Matthew Renshaw scores 7 runs in one legal delivery without hitting 4, 6 himself
Here’s how Renshaw achieved rare feat to reach his half century
During the third day of the 4-day warm-up match between Prime Minister's XI and Pakistan, Australian batsman Matthew Renshaw achieved a remarkable half-century in an unusual manner.
While batting at 47, Renshaw played a shot through the covers. The Pakistani fielder successfully prevented the ball from crossing the boundary, allowing the batsmen to complete three runs as the ball was retrieved. However, a fielding error occurred when the throw towards the batting end was overly forceful, sending the ball past the boundary line.
The unexpected turn of events resulted in Renshaw scoring seven runs on that particular ball without hitting a six or four himself and reaching his half-century.
Cricket Australia shared a video capturing this rare feat on social media with the caption, "You don't see this every day! Matthew Renshaw brings up his half-century ... with a seven!" The incident added a unique and memorable moment to the ongoing warm-up match.

Chennai: Eight arrested, 2 Kg Cocaine worth ₹6 Crore seized in major drug bust
Chennai: The Enforcement Bureau Police’s Central Intelligence Unit has arrested eight individuals and seized two kilograms of cocaine valued at approximately ₹6 crore in a major anti-drug operation conducted in Chennai. The bust, which took place at two key locations in the city, also resulted in the seizure of a car and five mobile phones used by the accused.
The operation began in the St. Thomas Mount area, where officers detained five suspects — all hailing from Keelakarai in Ramanathapuram district — who were in possession of one kilogram of cocaine. During questioning, the group reportedly provided information leading to the arrest of three additional individuals from the Koyambedu area.
Police identified Mahendran, a forest guard posted in Sayalgudi, as one of the key accused. He allegedly received one kilogram of cocaine from a waste collector named Pandi. According to police sources, Pandi claimed he found the narcotics washed ashore along the Ramanathapuram coast during routine waste collection. Similarly, another accused, Palaneeswaran, claimed to have discovered a separate kilogram of cocaine in the same manner.
Further investigations revealed that the alleged mastermind behind the operation was Kasim, who planned to sell the cocaine in Chennai for a significant profit. He was aided by co-conspirators identified as Mohamed Mubarak, Edward Sam, Mohamad Idris, and Kaja Mohaideen.
While the seized cocaine is believed to have arrived via the coastal route, authorities have not yet confirmed its exact origin. Efforts are underway to investigate possible international or domestic supply links.
