Honestly got obsessed after someone asked me – where can I actually see Virat Kohli’s monster six from IPL history? Figured it out after wasting like two hours, so here’s my hunt.
The Frustrating Search Begins
First, I just typed “Virat Kohli longest six IPL” straight into Google. Tons of news articles popped up saying he hit this massive 111-meter six against some team. Cool, but where’s the actual video? Total tease. Every article just talked about it.
Clicked on one link suggesting a video platform. Landed on some player, started scrubbing through the highlights. Nothing! Just regular boundaries or outs. Felt like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Hitting Dead Ends & Clickbait
Tried social media next. Searched “Virat Kohli big six” on a big sports page. Scrolled forever. Saw some cool sixes, sure, but mostly recent stuff or shorter hits. Started getting ads too, really annoying.
Then found this compilation titled “Top 10 Biggest IPL Sixes EVER!”. Got excited! Skipped right to the end… Number 1 was someone else! Kohli was maybe number 3 or 4, and it was good, but definitely not the record-breaker. Classic clickbait.
Seriously considered giving up. Every highlight package focused on multiple shots or the whole match. Who’s got time to watch a full 3-hour game for one ball?
The “Aha!” Moment
Had a thought: maybe I needed the exact match info. Went back to those news articles. Found it! It was Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Mumbai Indians in 2018, at a specific ground. Bowler was some left-arm spinner.
This changed everything. Searched: “Virat Kohli 111m six vs MI 2018 IPL“. Bam! Right away, a shorter video popped up, clearly labeled. No frills, just like 15 seconds showing the setup, the swing, and the ball sailing way back into the stands. Exactly what I wanted.
Showed it to my buddy who asked. He was pumped. Felt stupid I didn’t start with the specifics.
My Final Takeaway
- Vague searches waste time: “Kohli big six” gets you junk.
- News articles tease: They confirm it exists but rarely give the clip.
- Compilations lie: “Biggest Ever” lists might not have the actual longest.
- Key is specifics: You NEED the year, teams, ground, or that magic “111m” number to cut through the noise.
- Match highlights overload: Finding one ball in hours of footage is misery. Short clips labeled specifically with that detail are the gold.
Happy I stuck it out. Seeing that ball disappear was totally worth the hassle. Now you know how to find it without the headache!
