5 sixes in an over in ipl history

SHARJAH: Chasing a stiff 224 for a win, the Royals needed 51 runs from the last three overs and it seemed the fate of the match was already sealed but Tewatia turned the match on its head in a dramatic fashion, taking 30 runs from Sheldon Cottrell in the 18th over. | In an unbelievable turn of events, Tewatia (53 off 31 balls and 7 sixes), who was struggling to connect the ball after being pushed up the order ahead of the likes of Robin Uthappa, suddenly shifted gears as he hoisted Cottrell for a series of sixes much to the amazement of his team-mates and opposition players. Star England batsman Jos Buttler (4), who missed the Royal's first match as he was in quarantine, lasted just seven runs with Cotrell dismissing him in the third over. But Samson was on a different level altogether as he kept on plundering the fours and sixes. He collected 21 runs off Glenn Maxwell in the 16th over before Mohammed Shami had him dismissed in the first ball of the next over. Earlier, opener Agarwal and Rahul's 183-run stand for the opening stand was the highest partnership for any wicket so far this season as they took apart the Royals bowlers who were also wayward in their line and length. The duo just missed the record of highest opening wicket partnership in IPL history by a mere two runs when Agarwal was out in the 17th over after hitting 10 fours and seven sixes during his magnificent 50-ball knock. Nicholas Pooran then hit 25 not out from just eight balls while Glenn Maxwell also r...

One bowler, two batsmen, six legitimate deliveries, hundreds of feelings and thousands of emotions. An over has it all. It’s an event, one among forty, that makes you feel melancholy, joyous, surprised, angry, animated, and what not. Ours is a batsman’s game and shorter the format gets, more is the point validated. When the stage is as big as the Indian Premier League with a certain Chris Gayle or MS Dhoni staring down the bowler with a 4.25-inch wide hammer, he has no escape. The IPL has witnessed some of the hardest hitting batsmen across the globe, whacking bowlers out of the park at will. These batsmen have had the capability to change the complexion of the game in a single over. So let us have a look at six of the most expensive overs in IPL history, where batsmen showed no sympathy to the bowlers. #5 Virender Sehwag’s against Andrew Symonds: 30 Runs (2008) Who better than the “Multan of Sultan” to end this list? Chasing a modest target of 143 against Deccan Chargers in the seventh match of the tournament, the Delhi dasher smashed 94*(41) to take Delhi home comfortably. It was in the thirteenth over of the match when Viru decided to take on Andrew Symonds. The first ball went over extra cover, next over square leg, then towards fine leg, another one over cover, then, another pull, and the last one went rows back over long on to put an end to Symond’s misery. This is how the over went: 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 6 #4 Chris Gayle’s against Rahul Sharma: 31 runs (2012) Chris Gayle t...

The fourteenth edition of the Mumbai Indians (MI) taking on Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the tournament opener. Unlike the previous season held in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the upcoming IPL 2021 will entirely take place in India. However, the coronavirus scare has forced BCCI to stage the marquee event only in six cities. Just like every season, the IPL 2021 is expected to entertain fans with a dose of high-scoring matches and world-class batsman sending the white leather into the stands. In the previous season, the stroke makers displayed their ‘A-Game’ and hit as many as 734 sixes, with Ishan Kishan smashing the most number of sixes (30). When it comes to most sixes in an over, Rahul Tewatia, the Rajasthan Royals (RR) all-rounder, did the magic in IPL 2020. He had taken Sheldon Cottrell to the cleaners and hit five sixes in an over. Speaking about the highest number of sixes in a particular over, Chris Gayle, the West Indies superstar, tops the charts in total figures. Gayle is ahead of everyone in relation to smashing the majority of maximums in each over. In the very first over figures, Gayle shares the top position with another six-hitting specialist Virender Sehwag. Both have scored 12 maximums in the first over of IPL games. From second over to ninth, the ‘Universe Boss’ single-handedly dominates as he has smashed the most number of sixes in these overs. When it comes to finishers, Kieron Pollard, AB de Villiers and MS Dhon...

The Indian Premier League (IPL) is renowned for its exciting player performances and its intense cricket matches. When a batsman hits a six, it is one of the most thrilling moments in a game of cricket, and when they score five or more sixes in a single over, it is an uncommon and special occurrence. The history of batters hitting five sixes in one IPL over will be examined in this article. A batsman has struck five sixes in a single over three times in the history of the IPL. Chris Gayle was the first player to accomplish this milestone; he did so in an over while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore against Pune Warriors India in 2011. Every ball of that was sent over to the stands by the left-handed batter, who is famed for his powerful hitting, leaving the bowler speechless. The captain of the Mumbai Indians, Rohit Sharma, was the second player to knock five sixes in a single over. In 2015, he accomplished this accomplishment while competing against the Kolkata Knight Riders. The way Rohit Sharma hammered those sixes demonstrated his power-hitting prowess. Rohit Sharma is renowned for his graceful stroke play. During the 2019 IPL season, Chris Gayle once again accomplished the milestone of smashing five sixes in a single over. When he was playing for Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) against Rajasthan Royals, he accomplished this accomplishment. Gayle, one of the game's most destructive batters, once again shown his talent by being the only player to hit five sixes...

KKR required 29 runs off the final over against Gujarat Titans and no one really gave them a chance. Umesh Yadav got a single off the first ball which brought 'Lord Rinku' - his newly-coined title - on strike. Rinku went on to strike 5 consecutive sixes off Yash Dayal's bowling to stun the Gujarat Titans and script one of the most remarkable run-chases in the history of T20 cricket. #1 Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder vs KKR (2022) In a game between LSG and KKR in Pune in IPL 2022, Marcus Stoinis and Jason Holder combined forces to smash 5 sixes off a Shivam Mavi over.
