‘My head hurts’ – Sky Sports commentator reacts to ‘strangest darts throw ever seen’ live on TV during Van Gerwen match

Haji faced world No2 Michael van Gerwen in the first round of the competition.

And although he suffered a huge 6-0 defeat, the 51-year-old's unusual technique got fans talking.

Directly facing the oche with his stance, Haji released the dart with a twirling action.

However, he failed to go toe-to-toe with Van Gerwen and averaged just 60.18 compared to the Dutchman's 106.09.

Sky Sports commentator and former Darts player Wayne Mardle was left completely baffled by Haji's technique.
