In the 13-second video, Russell can be seen using all his muscle power for striking the ball straight down ground. The power and timing behind the shot gives his batting partner a very little time to get out of the way. However, Dinesh Karthik manages to save himself narrowly but only after falling down on his knees. "That was one hell of a shot," a commentator can be heard saying.
