The list of cricketing legends who have achieved the remarkable feat of smashing six sixes in an over in T20 international cricket has recently welcomed a new addition – Nepal’s Dipendra Singh Airee. Joining the ranks of very few players, Airee’s explosive batting display has solidified his name in the annals of cricketing history.

In this article, we will take a look at those players who have smashed six sixes in an over in T20Is so far:

Three Players Who Have Smashed Six Sixes in an Over in T20Is

1. Yuvraj Singh:

One of the most iconic moments in T20 cricket history came during the inaugural T20 World Cup in 2007 when Yuvraj Singh unleashed an onslaught against England’s Stuart Broad. In a breathtaking display of power hitting, Yuvraj smashed six consecutive sixes in the 19th over of the match.

Ultimately, he reached a blistering 16-ball 58, which included seven sixes. Not only did Yuvraj’s explosive innings lead India to victory, but it also etched his name in cricketing folklore.

Moreover, Yuvraj also held the record for the fastest fifty in T20 internationals, achieving the milestone in just 12 balls. However, this record was later surpassed by Dipendra Singh Airee during the Asian Games 2023 match against Mongolia, where he achieved a century in just nine balls.

2. Kieron Pollard:

In 2021, Kieron Pollard added his name to the illustrious list of players who have smashed six sixes in an over in T20 internationals. During the first T20I against Sri Lanka, Pollard delivered a sensational batting performance, scoring 38 runs off just 11 balls and earning the prestigious Player of the Match award.

The defining moment came in the sixth over of the match when Pollard unleashed a merciless assault on Sri Lankan bowler Dhananjaya de Silva, dispatching every delivery over the boundary ropes.

Pollard’s remarkable feat not only showcased his incredible hitting prowess but also played a pivotal role in securing victory for the West Indies in that match.

3. Dipendra Singh Airee:

The latest addition to the list of players who have achieved the feat of smashing six sixes in an over in T20 internationals is Nepal’s Dipendra Singh Airee. During a match against Qatar in the ACC Men’s Premier Cup, Airee exhibited a masterclass in power hitting.

He demolished every delivery from Kamran Khan in the final over of Nepal’s innings. His explosive innings of 64 runs off just 21 balls, including seven sixes, propelled Nepal to a formidable total of 210 runs.

Airee’s achievement not only highlights his remarkable talent but also signifies the growing prominence of cricket in Nepal and the emergence of new cricketing talents from the region.
