WATCH: Kieron Pollard hits 6 Sixes in one over!
Kieron Pollard hits 6 Sixes in one over to join Yuvraj Singh and Herschelle Gibbs in achieving the perfect 6 feat in International Cricket. He achieved this feat in the first T20I between West Indies and Sri Lanka at Coolidge Cricket Ground, Antigua.
The victim was Akila Dananjaya who just picked a hat-trick the previous over – taking the price wickets of Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle and Nicholas Pooran.

The very next over of Akila Dananjaya was dealt with severely by Kieron Pollard smashing 6 Sixes off 6 balls! Pollard departed the next over – trapped in front LBW. Akila Dananjaya’s next over began with Jason Holder smashing him for a Six – making it 7 Sixes in 7 consecutive balls from the right arm spinner!
Dananjaya’s bowling figures read as 4-0-63-3 in the end.
In the process Kieron Pollard became the first ever International Captain to score 6 Sixes in an over!
