Watch: Joe Root's "Unbelievable" Reverse Scoop Six Off Tim Southee Goes Viral

England batter Joe Root has been in fine form over the course of last year and he showed his class once again in the ongoing second Test against New Zealand at Trent Bridge after scoring 176 runs off 211 balls with the help of 26 fours and one six. He helped the hosts post 539 runs in reply to New Zealand's first innings score of 553, meaning the visitors could only take a slender lead of 14. On Day 4 of the ongoing Test, Root showed his complete range and even registered a reverse scoop six off the bowling of Tim Southee, leaving fans and commentators in awe.

On the first ball of the 117th over, Root brought out the reverse scoop off the bowling of Southee and it went for a six.

The pacer bowled the ball outside off stump and Root just timed the ball perfectly to get the maximum result.
