The 6ixty: Russell Muscled Six Sixes in a Row

Kieron Pollard-led Trinbago Knight Riders were batting first and utilised the opportunity to put up a mammoth total. TKR not only posted a mammoth total but also won the match by three runs.

The captain of TKR, Pollard, also smashed six sixes while playing an international match against Sri Lanka, and the bowler was Akila Dhananjaya. The Indian left-handed batter, Yuvraj Singh was the first one to hit six sixes in a row against England in the T20 World Cup 2007.

And now Andre Russell has made it to this elite list by smashing six sixes last night. He took control and powered against Dominic Drakes, who was bowling the seventh over. He hit four consecutive sixes to Drakes and as per the rules of the tournament, the batters do not change the ends and then smashed two sixes on the two deliveries of the eighth over.

No team can escape the Russell storm if he is batting anywhere. We all have seen how he plays and how he never stops after getting started. That’s what happened last night, he was hitting the ball so cleanly and went on to score 74 of just 24 deliveries. After smashing two sixes off the first to deliveries of Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Russell also smashed a boundary on the third ball as well. And St Kitts finally dismissed Russell, who got caught by Duan Jansen on the last ball of the over.

Here’s the video of Andre Russell smashing the bowlers of St Kitts for boundaries:-
