LONDON, April 25: Lancashire’s Jordan Clark has become only the fifth batsman to hit six sixes in one over during a professional cricket match.
The English County said in a statement on Wednesday that the 22-year-old had achieved the feat in a Championship Second XI game against Yorkshire to join an illustrious list of names.
Former West Indies all-rounder Garfield Sobers was the first man to do it, in 1968, and Indian Ravi Shastri followed suit in 1985.
