In the recent ACC Men’s T20I Premier Cup clash between Nepal and Qatar, the cricketing world witnessed an extraordinary feat. Nepal’s 24-year-old all-rounder, Airee, left his mark by hitting six sixes in a single over. Thus, he joins an elite club of batters who have achieved this rare accomplishment in men’s T20Is. Let’s dive deeper into this remarkable performance and its significance in the world of cricket.
Airee’s Record-Breaking Moment
In starting the last over with 28 runs off 15 balls, Airee dominated Qatar’s Kamran Khan. In a breathtaking display of power-hitting, he proceeded to dispatch every ball of the last over above the boundary ropes, finishing a stunning 64 off just 21 balls. This display of dominance and skill not only secured victory for Nepal but also etched his name in cricketing history.

By achieving this feat, Airee joined the likes of legendary cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard, who had previously smashed six sixes in men’s T20Is. Yuvraj‘s iconic moment came during the 2007 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, while Pollard replicated the feat in 2021. Additionally, in the realm of ODIs, Herschelle Gibbs and Jaskaran Malhotra have left their mark with similar displays of power-hitting.
Airee’s Journey to Stardom
Airee’s journey to becoming a cricket sensation has been nothing short of remarkable. Emerging from the 2016 ICC Men’s U19 Cricket World Cup, he quickly rose through the ranks to join Nepal’s senior team at the tender age of 17. His consistent performances and unwavering dedication have made him a pivotal figure in Nepal’s cricket landscape. Airee’s record-breaking performance serves as a significant boost for Nepal as they gear up for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024.
