Elevating the entertainment quotient, the streaming service Amazon miniTV announced its upcoming sports drama series, ‘Sixer’.

The series is set to premiere exclusively on Amazon miniTV on November 11 for free.

The trailer of the upcoming sports drama gives a glimpse into the life of Nikunj Shukla aka ‘Nikku’, a young cricketer from Vijay Nagar, Indore. Played by Shivankit, this character is a hardcore cricket enthusiast and wants to represent the sport in its right spirit, UNI reported from New Delhi.

“It gives me immense pleasure to be associated with Amazon miniTV for its upcoming sports drama ‘Sixer’. Jahan hai sixer aur cricket, wahaan hai Yuvi! The story is very endearing and memorable, and it reminded me of my early days when we used to play cricket using a tennis ball.
