Kent's No. 11 batter Matt Quinn has gained attention on social media after his short innings against Warwickshire in the County Championship. After coming out to bat last, Quinn smashed a six off the first ball. Interestingly, Kent decided to declare their innings after the shot.

Kent defeated Warwickshire by 177 runs in their County Championship match earlier today (July 22). Indian pacer Navdeep Saini shone for Kent as he accounted for seven wickets in the match.

Saini was at the non-striker's end when Warwickshire spinner Danny Briggs dismissed Matt Milnes. Matt Quinn walked out to bat next and whacked one over the leg-side boundary on the first ball. He raised his bat after hitting the six.
