Disha Kasat hits record 10 sixes as Vidarbha win T20 Trophy opener
The Story in Brief
Disha Kasat smashed an unbeaten 91 off 54 balls with a record 10 sixes, becoming the first Indian batter to hit 10 sixes in a Women's T20 innings, as Vidarbha beat Delhi by eight wickets in the Senior Women's T20 Trophy Super League stage on Saturday, 14 November 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium Ground B in Ahmedabad.
Kasat, who will play for Mumbai Indians in the 2027 Women's Premier League, surpassed Shafali Verma's previous Indian record of nine sixes. She and skipper Mona Meshram, who remained 43 not out, added an unbroken 106-run stand for the third wicket to chase down Delhi's 169 for five with 15 balls to spare. Tanisha Singh top-scored for Delhi with 78 not out.
Defending champions Maharashtra beat Andhra by 48 runs, Railways beat Mumbai with a ball to spare, and Karnataka beat Baroda by five wickets. Vidarbha will next face Karnataka on Monday, 16 November 2026.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both The Hans India and India Today cover Kasat's record with near-identical facts. The Hans India leads with the tournament round-up, listing four match results, while India Today leads solely with the record, naming Shafali Verma and international record-holder Lizelle Lee. Both outlets report Kasat's unbeaten 91, her 10 sixes, the partnership with Mona Meshram, and her Mumbai Indians move. The Hans India adds scores from the other three matches, India Today omits them to focus on the record. The balanced reading is uniform straight reporting with a minor editorial choice in lead emphasis.
