Nepal opener creates history by hitting six sixes in an over
It means Bhurtel becomes the second player from Nepal to have scored six sixes in an over in a T20I, with the right-hander joining Dipendra Singh Airee in an exclusive club of just six players to have recorded the milestone.
India great Yuvraj Singh was the first player to hit six sixes in an over when he launched England’s Stuart Broad into the stands at the inaugural ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in 2007, while Bhurtel now joins West Indies hard-hitter Kieron Pollard (2021), Singh Airee (2024), Samoa’s Darius Visser (2024) and Bulgaria’s Manan Bashir (2025) in achieving the feat in T20I cricket.
