There are batters who have hit consecutive sixes in world cricket on countless occasions. But to have hit six consecutive sixes has always been a daunting and nearly unbeatable feat; it, for the sheer
challenge and focus involved, quite simply raises the bar for competition. And while the likes of the great Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard have achieved the rare feat of clubbing six consecutive sixes in other forms of international cricket, the players to hit six successive sixes in an over in First-Class cricket happen to be three. Just three, and that's about it. But having said that, what are we waiting for? Let us delve into the realm of layers to hit six successive sixes in an over in First-Class Cricket and understand a bit about their class and charisma.
Players to hit six successive sixes in an over in First-Class cricket
Akash Choudhary
Meghalaya is known for its natural beauty; but at the same time, it must also, from November 11, 2025 onwards, be known for one of the most seriously destructive batters who have ever played for the noted Ranji team. And while we hope Akash Kumar Choudhary would be smiling at achieving an incredible feat with the bat, who wouldn't be, without doubt, is the Arunachal Pradesh team. After all, it was subjected to 6 consecutive sixes.
Batting at number eight, Choudhary, who began playing for Meghalaya (for the first time ever) back in 2019 ended up scoring 50 runs off 14 deliveries in an important Ranji contest between Meghalaya and AP.
And in so doing, he became one among the three players to hit six successive sixes in an over in First-Class cricket.
Sir Garfield Sobers
The great legend of the game, the central figure of poise and bravado, if you like in the famed trinity whose other members happen to be Brian Lara and Viv Richards, Sir Garfield Sobers did to cricket what Juan Manuel Fangio do to the pinnacle of motorsport - F1.
He combined ceaseless focus with grit to offer cricket what is meant by true excellence. Many moons ago, the famed Sir Garfield Sobers clubbed six consecutive sixes while batting for Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan.
Ravi Shastri
Cool, unflustered and straightforward and with no tricks; Ravi Shastri epitomises a winning mindset and traits which must also be admired the same way his flamboyant personality is. Back in the day, in the days of the yore, the Mumbai cricketer who is as handsome among the cricketers as he is observant about the game he loves, he hit six consecutive sixes in first-class cricket in a vital contest for Bombay against Baroda.
And Shastri, known for his swag and the towering personality, made left arm spinner Tilak Raj endure the pain of being hit for 6 consecutive sixes. What skills with the bat, also beside the no nonsense style behind the commentary mic.
