However, he certainly didn't look like he was facing his first ball as he smashed Jofra Archer, who got the wicket of Rohit on the previous ball, for a six. Suryakumar Yadav pulled Archer for a six over the fine leg. 

He became only the third player ever to score a six off the first ball in international cricket. Sohail Tanvir and Michael Craig are the other two batsmen.
