there is a chance of scoring maximum 36 runs. That too if every ball is hit
for a six. And if he scores 46 runs in a single over? Is this actually
possible? But it happened in a T20 tournament.
The ‘KCC Friends Mobile T20 Champions Trophy’ is currently being held in
Kuwait. A match was held between NCM Investment and Tally CC. NCM batsman
Vasu rained sixes. Tally team’s bowler Harman bowled the 15th over. Two
no-balls, six sixes, two fours… He scored a total of 46 runs.
Thanks to his blow, the team’s score reached 230 in 15 overs. Now this
video is going viral. Netizens are commenting as to how that is possible.
230 runs in 15 overs? Is this a joke?”
If we look at the records in international cricket, the highest score in
one over in ODIs is 36. In 2006, South African player Herschel Gibbs hit
against the Netherlands team. In 2021, USA batsman Jaskaran Malhotra struck
against Papua New Guinea team.
In Tests, this batting record is held by Jaspreet Bumrah, the speed star
of Team India. He scored 35 runs in a single over in the Test against
England in 2022.
And the highest score in T20 is 36. For the first time, Yuvraj Singh of
Team India achieved this feat. He set a record by hitting 6 sixes in 6
balls against England in the first T20 World Cup. West Indies player Kieren
Pollard also scored 36 against Sri Lanka in 2021.
But this may be the first time in the history of cricket to score 46 runs
in an over.
