Akash Kumar Choudhary Creates History with Fastest Fifty and Six Sixes in Ranji Trophy

Meghalaya’s Akash Kumar Choudhary created history in the Ranji Trophy Plate Group match against Arunachal Pradesh in Surat by smashing the fastest fifty in first-class cricket — off just 11 balls — and becoming only the third player to hit six sixes in an over.

The 25-year-old, batting at No. 8, launched eight consecutive sixes, surpassing Wayne White’s 12-ball fifty record. Left-arm spinner Limar Dabi was the bowler on the receiving end of the six-sixes over.

Akash joined legends Sir Garfield Sobers and Ravi Shastri in achieving the rare feat, marking a historic day for Meghalaya cricket.
