Captain Kieron Pollard entered the cricket record books on Wednesday night, smashing six sixes in a single over to give West Indies victory over Sri Lanka by four wickets in the first CG Insurance T20 International at Coolidge Cricket Ground. Pollard became the first West Indian — and only the third batsman in international cricket history after Yuvraj Singh and Herschelle Gibbs — to hit six sixes in an over in international cricket. He scored a match-winning 38 off 11 balls after West Indies had slipped to 54-3 chasing 132. Spinner Akila Dananjaya had taken a hat-trick earlier to put West Indies in trouble before Pollard’s extraordinary intervention sealed the match. Pollard was named CG Insurance Man of the Match.
