ANTIGUA – West Indies captain Kieron Pollard has joined an elite group of cricketers after smashing six sixes in one over in the opening Twenty20 against Sri Lanka.
Pollard, 33-year-old, Wednesday became the third man to get this title following South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs and India’s Yuvraj Singh.
The big-hitting batsman slammed Sri Lanka spinner Akila Dananjaya all over the park. Chasing 132 for the win, he shifted the match in his side’s favour with his explosive batting.
