New Delhi. T20 cricket is called a batsman’s game. The reason for this is the batsmen who keep hitting sixes every day. Yuvraj Singh created history by hitting 6 consecutive sixes in an over in the 2007 T20 World Cup. Now the name of a batsman from Nepal has also been included in this list. Deependra Singh gave a historic performance for the team by hitting six sixes in an over in the match played against Qatar. He has become the third batsman in the world to do so.
After Nepal and Qatar, something happened during the ACC Premier Cup which attracted everyone’s attention towards this tournament. In the match played on Saturday, Nepal, who came to bat first, scored 210 runs for 7 wickets. In this, Deependra Singh Airi’s unbeaten inning of 64 runs was important. This batsman equaled the world record of 6 consecutive sixes in an over while destroying the Qatar bowlers.
