Andhra wicketkeeper Vamshhi Krrishna got his name etched in the history books after slamming six sixes in an over during a Col CK Nayudu Trophy fixture against Railways on Wednesday. Krrishna reached the milestone on the fourth and final day of the game, becoming the fourth Indian batter after Ravi Shastri, Yuvraj Singh and Ruturaj Gaikwad to have hit six sixes in an over.
Krrishna achieved the feat against Railways spinner Damandeep Singh in the first innings of the fixture played at the YS Raja Reddy ACA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam. He ended up playing a 110-run knock off just 64 balls, with the help of nine boundaries and 10 sixes. The official handle of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) domestic also shared a video of Krrishna hitting six sixes in one over.
