Ben McDermott flies high after ton vs India with six 'on the roof' in BBL 2020 game: WATCH

Australian all-rounder Ben McDermott seems to be in sensational form. Despite being dismissed for a duck in the first innings of India's second three-day practice game against Australia A, the cricketer compensated for that with a spectacular century in the second innings. The 26-year-old carried on his fabulous form in the shortest format as well. 

BBL 2020: Ben McDermott's towering six lands on the roof 

The eighth match of the ongoing Big Bash League saw Hobart Hurricanes take on the Adelaide Strikers at Launceston on Tuesday. Hurricanes did not have an ideal start to their innings as they lost their openers early. Star batsman D'Arcy Short could only manage to score 2 runs, whereas Will Jacks was sent back without troubling the scorers. Ben McDermott and Colin Ingram orchestrated a stellar 75-run partnership to bring their side back into the contest.

McDermott impressed with his timing and looked comfortable at the crease. He was undoubtedly beaming with confidence after his gritty century against India A. He was the top scorer for the Hurricanes in the match and scored a quick-fire 46 from just 33 deliveries under pressure. The highlight of his knock was the humongous six that he hit on the last ball of the sixth over. The player smashed Matt Renshaw's delivery over the mid-wicket boundary for a monstrous six.
