Pollard third man to hit six sixes in over in international cricket
ST. JOHN’S, Antigua and Barbuda, March 4, 2021 (BSS/AFP) – West Indies
captain Kieron Pollard on Wednesday became only the third man to hit six
sixes in an international over in the opening Twenty20 international against
Sri Lanka.
Pollard followed in the footsteps of South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs (2007
World Cup against Netherlands) and India’s Yuvraj Singh (2007 T20 World Cup
against England) by achieving the rare feat.
The hapless bowler was Akila Dananjaya who in his previous over had claimed
a hat-trick of wickets.
