Tamil Nadu wicketkeeper batsman Narayan Jagadeesan smashed six fours in the over to create history in the ongoing Vijay Hazare Trophy. He achieved this monumental feat during Tamil Nadu’s preliminary quarter-final match against Rajasthan at the Kotambi Stadium in Vadodara.
Jagadeesan looked in great form with the bat when he came to open the innings along with Tushar Raheja. The first over bowled by Khaleel Ahmed went for 10 runs as Raheja began the carnage. But the real damage was to happen in the second over.
The first ball bowled by Aman Shekhawat was an unmistakable delivery that went for five. The bowler then bowled a short outside length ball and Jagadeesan hit hard over the slips for four. The second ball was nicely taken past the point for another four.
In the next ball, Narayan Jagadeesan smashed another short delivery for four over the slips as the fielder at third man bowled a bit wrongly. The next ball was played in the air but Narayan Jagadeesan managed to field the ball for another boundary through point.
Shekhawat changed line and bowled the next ball on the body, but it didn’t change the score as Jagadeesan hit him through midwicket for another four. The opener bowled the last ball to fine leg for another four to complete the historic over.

History of Indian domestic cricket
After a five-ball first strike, Narayan Jagadeesan hit six fours in a row to create a turning point in Indian domestic cricket. The most is no. runs ever scored in an over in List A cricket without hitting a six.
It was a forgettable finish for Aman Shekhawat as he just couldn’t find his line and rhythm. As expected, he was not included in the spell again. The over went for 29 runs. Tamil Nadu made 39-0 in two overs.
Narayan Jagadeesan scored 65 off 52 balls with 10 fours. Six of these fours came in just one over. Aman Shekhawat’s unusual action did not bother Jagadeesan as he attacked him in this over.
Varun Chakravarthy picked up five wickets
Meanwhile, Tamil Nadu won the toss earlier and fielded first. Opener Abhijeet Tomar smashed a brilliant hundred against a strong bowling attack. Captain Mahipal Lomror batted well and hit a fighting ball 49-60 which included 3 fours and 4 sixes.
Wicketkeeper Kartik Sharma gave the innings a late boost as Rajasthan scored 267 and were bowled out inside 47.3 overs. Mystery spinner Varun Chakravarthy picked up a magnificent five wickets for Tamil Nadu (5-52 in 9 overs).
In response, the match came to an interesting position where anything can happen. Rajasthan bowlers made a strong comeback after a horror start. They restricted Tamil Nadu’s strong batting order and made them work hard.
