West Indies cricketer Kieron Pollard has hit six sixes in an over and joined the likes of South African cricketer Herschelle Gibbs and Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh to achieve this feat. This happened in the first T20 international between West Indies and Sri Lanka played at Antigua.

Pollard who is the captain of the West Indies side won the toss and opt to bowl first. Sri Lanka did not put up a convincing total for the hosts as they ended up with just 131 runs on the scorecard.

Chasing the total, West Indies completed the run chase in just the 14th over. Lanka bowler Akila Dananjaya took a hat-trick in this very match by dismissing Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran. But Pollard then smacked the same bowler to huge sixes at the end of power play.

Pollard’s feat is only the third one in international cricket and it came after 14 years.
