New Delhi, 15 August 2026: In cricket, hitting six sixers in six consecutive balls is a big achievement for any batsman. Such an achievement is rarely seen in international cricket. So far, only a few batsmen have been able to hit a sixer on all six valid balls of an over. The name of India's Yuvraj Singh is most famous with this record; He attracted the world's attention by hitting six sixes in Stuart Broad's over against England during the 2007 T20 World Cup.
Herschell Gibbs was the first to achieve this feat
This record was made in international cricket in 2007. During the One-Day World Cup, South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs hit six consecutive sixes against the Netherlands. Gibbs hit every ball of the over bowled by Dan Van Bunge with powerful shots and sent the ball out of the boundary. He became the first batsman in international cricket to achieve this feat.
Yuvraj Singh created a sensation in T20 cricket
Just a few months after Herschelle Gibbs' feat, Yuvraj Singh achieved this feat in T20 International cricket. On 19 September 2007, in the match against England, Yuvraj hit six consecutive sixes in six balls of Stuart Broad's over. A total of 36 runs were scored in that over. This performance of Yuvraj is still considered one of the most memorable moments of T20 cricket.
Many names including Pollard were added
Then, in 2021, West Indies' Kieron Pollard hit six sixers against Sri Lanka. In the same year, USA's Jaskaran Malhotra also achieved this feat in one-day cricket. In 2024, Nepal's Deependra Singh Ari hit six sixes in a row in the T20 international match against Qatar. Samoan Darius Visser also achieved this feat in the same year. Subsequently, Bulgaria's Manan Bashir joined this club in 2025. Nepal's Kushal Bhurtale also registered his name in this list by hitting six sixes against China in 2026.
