Watch: Jofra Archer takes weirdest wicket in cricket history, ball flies for 'six' off the top of the bails
Jofra Archer of England takes the weirdest wicket in the history of cricket as the ball flies for a six after hitting the bails. Jofra dismissed Soumya Sarkar for just 2 runs in the 4th over of the match. Jofra Archer’s wicket is surely the craziest wicket in 200 years of the game.
Was that a four? A six? No! A wicket for Archer!
