At that time most of the cricket fans were busy in the ongoing Melbourne Test match between Australia and India. At the same time, another match was going on and England batsman Ben Duckett performed a new feat in that match. Yes, we are talking about the Big Bash League going on in Australia, in whose 11th match Sydney Sixers are facing Melbourne Stars.
In this match, Ben Duckett, playing for Melbourne Stars, got his name registered in the pages of history by hitting six consecutive fours in a single over. With these 6 fours, it also became the highest powerplay score in the Big Bash League this year. Sydney Sixers won the toss and decided to bowl first and Ben Duckett proved the opposition's decision wrong and got off to a flying start.
Akil Hussain came to bowl in the fourth over of Melbourne's innings and Ben Duckett created such havoc in his over that he would hardly ever forget. Ben Duckett hit a four on every ball of Hussain's over and scored a total of 24 runs including 6 fours in the over. Although many batsmen have done this work before also, but in recent times this is the first time that a batsman has hit 6 fours in an over.
