10 Guinness World Records held by cricket

6. Youngest Player to hit six sixes off an over (Male) – Anthony McMahon 

Whenever a cricket fan hears about hitting six sixes in an over, the first player who comes to everyone’s mind is Yuvraj Singh. The left-handed all-rounder from Punjab achieved this feat during a T20 World Cup match between India and England in 2007. Singh completed a 12-ball fifty in that match.

Besides, even Herschelle Gibbs had achieved this unique feat earlier that year and the current Indian head coach, Ravi Shastri took 36 runs off an over in a first-class match.

However, the youngest man to hit six sixes off an over is England’s Anthony McMahon who achieved this distinction at the age of 13 years and 261 days playing for Chester-le-Street against Eppleton at Durham.
