The thrill, drama and excitement is at it’s peak during the TATA IPL matches and this year as well the season of 2024 has been great to watch till now. Still RR holds the top position on the points table.
There are other teams like Chennai Super Kings and Kolkata Knight Riders who are in the race of claiming that number one position in the TATA IPL 2024 season. CSK is on the third spot while KKR is ranked second on the points table. Today’s match will be played between RCB Vs SRH at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.
Today, in this segment, we will talk about the three Indian players who have smashed five sixes in six balls, i.e, one over and won the game for their franchise side. Chris Gayle, the Universal Boss was the first ever player to hit five maximums in an over. He achieved this milestone in IPL 2012 season against Pune Warriors India.
Chris slammed a record of smashing five sixes on the trot against Rahul Sharma during the 13th over of the RCB innings. Here are the 3 Indians Who Have Achieved A Similar Milestone Of Smashing 5 Sixes In One Over –
Rahul Tewatia, the former player from Rajasthan Royals, who plays for Gujarat Titans now is the first Indian to smash five sixes in six balls. Tewatia tweaked the Kings XI Punjab side, who is now known as Punjab Kings in that match when RR were chasing a mammoth score to win that game in IPL 2020 season.
In the 18th over, Rahul went after the pace bowler of West Indies, Sheldon Cottrell and blasted him for five sixes and won the match for Rajasthan in a Royal way. This innings of Tewatia is still being remembered even now after four long years. However, Rahul hasn’t delivered this type of an innings again in his career of the cash rich league tournament.
India’s premier spin bowling all rounder started his career in the Indian Premier League with Rajasthan Royals in the 2008 season and he was also the part of the that team which lifted their maiden and only title so far in this tournament under the leadership of Shane Warne.
Now Ravindra Jadeja is an integral part of Chennai Super Kings and the Men in Blue as well. He is still the trump card of the new CSK skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad with the bat and ball. In the IPL 2021 season, Jaddu smashed five sixes against RCB’s Harshal Patel, who now plays for Punjab Kings.
The Yellow Army was batting first and they needed some extraordinary overs to score a defendable total. That over was from Harshal Patel’s 19th over, where Jaddu hit five back to back sixes and gave CSK a formidable score to defend. Before the over number 19th Jaddu scored 26 runs and after that he raced away to unbeaten 62 runs. Jadeja also contributed with the ball as well in that game which the Super Kings won quite comfortably.
The last and the latest entrant in this list is the Knight Rider, Rinku Singh. This youngster is being looked as the new finisher in the shortest format and he is almost certain to make to the T20 World Cup 2024 squad of Team India. Rinku got his place in the national side after heroics in the Indian Premier League and domestic cricket.
Rinku plays for the Purple Army of Kolkata Knight Riders. In the last season of TATA IPL 2023, KKR faced Gujarat Titans in a thrilling match. GT owned the major part of the contest and that’s why they were ahead in that match. KKR needed 30 of the last over, which was bowled by Yash Dayal.
However, it was Rinku Singh who destroyed the hopes of Gujarat when he smashed five sixes on trot and won the game for his franchise side. Mr Singh was unbeaten on 48 runs from just 21 balls in this run chase. Which player can be added in this list in TATA IPL 2024 season? Comment your opinion now.
