CRICKET
South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs was the first cricketer to achieve the feat but in ODI
West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard grabbed all the attention in the international cricket circuit as he smashed 6 sixes in an over during the first T20I against Sri Lanka in Antigua.
He became only the second batsman in the history of T20Is to achieve this feat. India's Yuvraj Singh was the first ever to do so during the 2007 T20 World Cup clash against England. The Indian all-rounder had slammed Stuart Broad for 36 runs in an over in a group match.

Pollard had arrived at the crease after Dananjaya had taken the hat-trick in his previous over. However, the Windies skipper remained unfazed and attacked the Sri Lankan spinner.
He hit Dananjaya all around the park, and after hitting the sixth six, he turned towards the dressing room and bowed to his Windies teammates. The Men in Maroon stood up and applauded the masterclass from their skipper.
Overall, Pollard is the third batsman to hit six sixes in an over in international cricket. South Africa's Herschelle Gibbs was the first cricketer to achieve the feat, scoring 36 runs in an over against The Netherlands in the 2007 ODI World Cup.
