In cricket, there are several feats that are widely celebrated. Hitting six sixes in one over is one of them. Who can forget the six sixes that Yuvraj Singh hit in the 2007 T20 World Cup against England’s Stuart Broad? West Indies legend Sir Gary Sobers was the first person to achieve the feat in a major match. Playing in a county championship for Nottinghamshire in 1968, Garfield Sobers hit Glamorgan’s Malcolm Nash for six sixes in an over. Ravi Shastri then became the first Indian to score six sixes in one over in 1985 for Bombay against Baroda.
Herschelle Gibbs was the first batsman to hit six sixes in an over in international cricket. Now, Vamshhi Krrishna from Andhra Pradesh is the latest addition to that list. He achieved the feat in a Col CK Nayudu Trophy match. The Col CK Nayudu Trophy is a national tournament for under-23 cricketers.
“6 sixes in an over alert! Andhra’s Vamshhi Krrishna hit 6 sixes in an over off Railways’ Damandeep Singh on his way to a blistering 64-ball 110 in the Col CK Nayudu Trophy in Kadapa,” the BCCI wrote in a post along with the video.
Recently, after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced that R Ashwin, who had left to be by the side of his mother who had fallen ill, rejoined the team on Day 4 of the third Test against England, former head coach Ravi Shastri revealed that the board arranged a charter flight for the player.
Shastri praised the BCCI and secretary Jay Shah for showing empathy towards Ashwin, adding that the gesture would have made the player feel “special”.
“BCCI Secretary Jay Shah organized a letter to take him home and bring him back. I think that is the kind of empathy that is needed from the BCCI as well. There are the gatekeepers of Indian cricket and with this kind of empathy , they will go “The road is very, very long. It also makes the players feel like they belong and are special,” Ravi Shastri said during his commentary period on Day 4 of the Rajkot Test.
