6-sixes in an over, fastest international 50 for Yuvraj Singh
September 19, 2007
Yuvraj Singh became the first player in Twenty20 history to hit six sixes in an over in India's match against England.
The astonishing barrage from Yuvraj, 25, helped him reach his half-century off just 12 balls. The lefthander hit the first delivery from England bowler Stuart Broad out of the Kingsmead stadium, and followed with five more sixes in the Super Eight match of the World Twenty20 tournament.
Sir Gary Sobers was the first to hit six sixes in an over in first-class cricket, followed by Ravi Shastri, while Herschelle Gibbs managed it in a one-day international.
Yuvraj's 12-ball 50 is also the fastest in any form of international cricket. The previous quickest one-day fifty belonged to Sanath Jayasuriya, in 17 balls for Sri Lanka against Pakistan in 1996.
Record for the fastest 100 is held by Shahid Afridi, who needed only 37 balls against Sri Lanka on his first ever innings.
Previous 36-run overs
1968 Garfield Sobers, of Nottinghamshire and West Indies, hit Malcolm Nash, the Glamorgan left-arm bowler, for 36 in an over in Swansea. See video of Sir Gary Sober's Six 6s
1985 Ravi Shastri, playing for Bombay, matched the achievement in a Ranji Trophy match. The India opening batsman hit Tilak Raj, a slow left-arm Baroda bowler, out of the ground six times.
2007 Herschelle Gibbs won $1 million for charity when he took on Daan van Bunge of Netherlands, the leg spinner, in the 30th over of South Africas World Cup match.
Pathirana plunders 277 in Twenty20 game
Sep 05, 2007
Dhanuka Pathirana smashed an awesome 277 off 72 balls to stake his claim to a Twenty20 world record.
He hit 29 sixes and 18 fours as Austerlands racked up a massive 366-3 in 20 overs, dwarfing Somerset's county record of 250.
Sri Lanka A all-rounder Pathirana, 25, had not even taken his own bat to the game because he expected rain to reduce the Saddleworth League tie to a bowl-out.
