Current Indian head coach Ravi Shastri was the only one who smashed six sixes in a Ranji match against Baroda in the year 1985. It took 16 years for someone else to duplicate this feat of Sir Garfield Sobers.
The South African star Herschelle Gibbs was the first one to do it in International cricket while Indian left hand batsman Yuvraj Singh was the first one to do it T20Is. Shardul Thakur, Jordan Clarke, Ross Whitely and Ravindra Jadeja make up the others to have achieved this amazing feat.
