Pollard equaled Yuvraj Singh's record of 6 sixes in an over
West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard slammed Sri Lanka's Akila Dananjaya for 6 sixes during the first T20I in Antigua. He became only the second batsman in the history of T20Is to achieve this feat. India's Yuvraj Singh was the first ever to do so.
The West Indies captain, slammed the 6 sixes off Dananjaya - who interestingly had taken a hat-trick in the same match, having dismissed Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran.
After hitting the sixth six, Pollard turned towards the dressing room and bowed to his Windies teammates. The Men in Maroon stood up and applauded the masterclass from their skipper. Pollard was eventually dismissed on 38 off 11 deliveries.
The West Indian all-rounder was the first player to achieve the feat on 31st August 1968. Sir Garfield Sobers was playing as captain for Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan.
When Malcolm Nash came to bowl, he had no idea he would be hit so badly. Sobers smashed five clean hits in a row for six, but on the sixth, was caught on the boundary.
However, fielder Roger Davis carried the ball over the rope, resulting in the first over to have ever been hit for six sixes and adding to the mythical nature of the achievement.
Carlos Braithwaite looked on course to become the second West Indies international to hit six sixes in a row, in the T20 World Cup final in 2016 but ran out of runs to get. He had smashed Ben Stokes for four consecutive sixes off the first four balls of the final over, winning the title in the process.
