Nepal batter Dipendra Singh Airee became the fifth international cricketer to hit six sixes in an over, after West Indies' great Kieron Pollard and Indian legend Yuvraj Singh. Airee accomplished this feat during the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Men's Premier Cup match against Qatar at Al Amerat on Saturday. With South African great Herschelle Gibbs and USA's Jaskaran Malhotra having accomplished this feat in ODIs too, Airee is also the fifth player to achieve this feat.
