Twitter world went crazy as Eoin Morgan smashed a record 17 sixes against Afghanistan at World Cup 2019

The Cricketing World has gone crazy, and rightly so as Eoin Morgan, who just recovered from an injury smashed a record 17 sixes in an ODI against Afghanistan.

Came into bat at number 4 after the fall of Jonny Bairstow’s wicket, Eoin Morgan showed no mercy from the start.

He reached his fifty in just 36 balls, while scored his hundred in just 57 balls; thus being the fastest for England. By then, he had already hit 11 Sixes. Post his hundred, he just went berserk as smashed 48 runs from the next 14 balls he faced to take his score to 148(71) with 17 sixes. 

Courtesy to Eoin Morgan’s spellbinding 148, England reached a massive total of 397 in 50 overs.  A record 17 sixes by Eoin Morgan has left Twitter in awe as people around the world applauded the knock. 

So, here are some of the most awesome Twitter reactions on Eoin Morgan and England

Eoin Morgan smashed 17 sixes during his innings of 148 off 71 balls against Afghanistan, a new ODI record.

The English captain only hit four boundaries during that same innings.
