Apart from breaking records, batsmen do break window panes as well. 28-year-old Canada batsman Rodrigo Thomas during a Global T20 Canada 2019 match between Toronto Nationals and Winnipeg Hawks smashed a window at the CAA Centre in Brampton, Ontario with a six. Playing for Toronto Nationals, opener Thomas slammed South Africa’s JP Duminy for a huge six over deep mid-wicket. The left-hander hit it so hard that it broke shattered the glasses near the boundary. Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo Light Up Global T20 Canada 2019 With This Funny Incident, Watch Video
Interestingly, it was the third consecutive six by Thomas off Duminy and fourth in the over. The South Africa import in Winnipeg Hawks team ended up conceding 26 runs from that over. Apparently, Duminy was taken off the attack after that over as he finished with figures of 31 for none in his two overs.

Thomas went on to score impressive 65 off just 46 balls as he smashed three fours and five sixes during his stay in the middle. He was eventually dismissed by Dwayne Bravo but the left-handed batsman laid a solid platform for his side.
