Akash Kumar Choudhary Smashes Eight Consecutive Sixes To Record Fastest Fifty In First-Class Cricket

Indian domestic cricketer Akash Kumar Choudhary has etched his name into cricket history with a jaw-dropping performance in a Ranji Trophy Plate Group match between Meghalaya and Arunachal Pradesh in Surat, Gujarat.

The 25-year-old smashed eight consecutive sixes, achieving the fastest fifty in first-class cricket history in just 11 balls.


Record-Breaking Batting Display

Coming in at number eight with Meghalaya at 576-6, Akash began his innings with a dot ball and two singles. He then unleashed a barrage, hitting six straight sixes off left-arm spinner Limar Dabi.

This achievement made him only the third player in first-class cricket to hit six sixes in an over, joining Sir Garfield Sobers (1968) and Ravi Shastri (1985).

Akash didn’t stop there — he followed up with two more sixes off off-spinner TNR Mohith, completing a record-breaking fifty in just 11 balls, surpassing Wayne White’s 12-ball record for Leicestershire in 2012. He finished unbeaten on 50 from 14 balls before Meghalaya declared at 629-8.


All-Round Heroics With The Ball

Akash’s brilliance wasn’t limited to batting. The seam bowler helped Meghalaya dominate with the ball as well.

  • 1-10: Arunachal Pradesh were skittled out for just 73 runs.

  • 2-7: Following on, they reached 29-3 at the close, still trailing by 526 runs.

His all-round performance showcased both power-hitting and precise bowling, marking him as a rising star in Indian domestic cricket.


Sports Market International Takeaway

Akash Kumar Choudhary’s explosive innings and stellar bowling performance are a reminder of cricket’s unpredictability and excitement. With such feats, he’s not only breaking records but also putting himself firmly on the radar for bigger opportunities in Indian cricket.
