St Kitts and Nevis Patriots opener Andre "Spiceman" Fletcher produced a vintage moment of Caribbean flair, stepping down the wicket to Saint Lucia Kings pacer Matthew Forde and launching a towering "no-look" straight six during the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2026. The ball went high into the night sky and landed directly out of the stadium. The video of the powerful hit is being widely shared and the internet users are calling it "spicy".
With the Patriots crawling at 10 for one after three overs, Fletcher broke the shackles on the first ball of the fourth over. Skipping down the pitch to meet Forde's delivery, Fletcher smoked the ball high and long over the bowler's head, completely looking away before the ball even cleared the boundary rope.
The nonchalant maximum sparked the Patriots' innings into overdrive, yielding 16 runs from that over and triggering an explosive powerplay turnaround.
