Chris Gayle and Yuvraj Singh are household names when it comes to T20 cricket.
It’s little wonder then that between them they hold various records in the format – including the joint-fastest 50.
But a relatively unknown Afghan then decided to etch his name into the annals of history.
Hazratullah Zazai smashed a blistering half-century off just 12 balls in the Afghan Premier League and, to make that feat even more impressive, smashed left-arm spinner Abdullah Mazari for six sixes in one over.
Here’s how he did it.
Incidentally, the 37 runs Mazari conceded in his over is also a world record.
Zazai became the second man after Yuvraj to hit six sixes in an over.
And just for fun, here’s that thrilling moment in history … all the way back in 2007.
