Josh Inglis smokes a hat-trick of sixes against Mayank Yadav in PBKS vs LSG IPL 2025 clash [Watch]

Australian wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis was on a roll during the IPL 2025 match between Punjab Kings (PBKS) and Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamsala on Sunday, May 4. The right-hander smashed a hat-trick of sixes against Mayank Yadav in the second over. After announcing his arrival with a first-ball four against Akash Singh, he struck a six over square leg against Mayank in the second over. He then followed that up with two more biggies, both over mid-wicket.

Inglis put on a show after coming out to bat in the first over of Punjab's innings. That came after Akash dismissed in-form opener Priyansh Arya for just one run to provide the Super Giants their first breakthrough in the first over.

Overall, he has 3432 runs in 136 T20s at a strike rate of 147.42, comprising four tons and 17 half-centuries.
