Sri Lankan player hits 7 sixes in ONE over


Yes, you read that right: A Sri Lankan player hit 7 sixes in
one over. This unique feat took place in an U15 Goodness Cup final game between
FOG and Dharmapala Qottawa. When young Navindu Pohasara came in at no. 3,
little did he know that he would end up becoming a source of viral content on
the social media.
Batting first, FOG made 283 runs from 36 overs, thanks to
the heroics of Navindu. The youngster scored a brilliant 109 from 87 balls and
hit 7 sixes in one over, owing to no-ball which he dispatched for a six.

This unique feat makes him the only player to hit 7 sixes in
one over. Prior to his, many players have hit 6 sixes in one over—namely
Herschelle Gibbs and Yuvraj Sing—but 7 sixes in an over is a never done before
feat.
And as usual, Navindu became an instant viral content on the
social media following his display. He also received a man of the match award
from the hands of Sri Lankan legend, Muttiah Muralitharan, who didn’t shy to express
his happiness and praised the youngster for his feat.
Given the way the Sri Lankan team has been free-falling into
mediocrity, this comes as a good news for the fans and board. They will be
hoping that Navindu grows up to be a world class player that will help Sri
Lanka return to the days of glory.
