Seven sixes in one over

Six sixes in an over? Yeah, okay, but how about seven? India’s Ruturaj Gaikwad has written himself into the record books after doing just that, becoming the first player to ever clear the ropes seven times in one over of a List A match. The 25-year-old achieved the stunning feat in Ahmedabad as part of an unbeaten double century while captaining Maharashtra to a 58-run quarterfinal win over Uttar Pradesh in a domestic 50-over competition. Left-arm spinner Shiva Singh was the man on the receiving end, in the 49th over, with his no ball for overstepping on his fifth delivery allowing Gaikwad the chance to carve out a slice of history.
