Over the years, cricket has witnessed some expensive overs. Attacking batting and huge scores have fascinated cricket fans to no end. An over which witnesses massive hits and produces most runs is always memorable for the fans and the batsman who made it possible. Though, the same can’t be said of the bowler who is at the receiving end of such drubbing. Here is a look at 11 of the most humongous overs ever witnessed in professional cricket.

<strong>11. Raiphi Gomez (Kerala) &#8211; 35 runs v Hyderabad:</strong>

Kerala’s Raiphi Gomez is a batting all-rounder. The right-hander had a fantastic outing against Hyderabad&#8217;s Ravi Teja. In a List A game in Chennai in 2010, Teja was hammered for 5 sixes and 1 four by the dashing Gomez. The bowler also conceded a wide making it 35 for the over.

<strong>10. Thisara Perera (Sri Lanka) &#8211; 35 v South Africa:</strong>

The Sri Lankan all-rounder hammered 35 in an over against South Africa in Pallekele in 2013. It was an ODI match and the bowler at the receiving end was left-arm spinner, Robin Peterson. The over read 6, 6, WD, 6, 6, 4, 6 and the left-hander made his presence felt in a grand style.

<strong>9. Yuvraj Singh (India) &#8211; 36 v England:</strong>

The southpaw spanked England’s Stuart Broad for 6 sixes on a magical night in Durban. Freddie Flintoff’s unprovoked mutterings fired Yuvraj Singh up in the famous WorldT20 match in 2007. Yuvi vented his ire on the right-arm pacer and went on to score a blistering half-century off just 12 balls which is the record fastest fifty.

<strong>8. Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa) &#8211; 36 v Netherlands:</strong>

South Africa’s attacking opener made it a day to remember for his fans with the perfect 6 against Netherlands in the 2007 ODI World Cup. By doing so, Gibbs made a charity one million dollars richer after the Johnny Walker Group had promised the amount if any player accomplished the feat. The venue was St. Kitts and the unfortunate bowler DLS van Bunge.

<strong>7. Ravi Shastri (Bombay) &#8211; 36 v Baroda:</strong>

The greatest member of the perfect 6 club, the legendary Sobers became the first batsman ever to hit six sixes in a single over of six consecutive balls in first-class cricket on 31st August 1968. The left-handed genius was playing as captain of Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan at St. Helen’s in Swansea; the unfortunate bowler was Malcolm Nash. This tally of 36 runs in an over broke a 57-year-old record of 34 runs, held by Nottinghamshire’s Ted Alletson.

<strong>4. Scott Styris (Sussex) &#8211; 38 v Gloucestershire:</strong>

Playing for Gloucestershire the right-arm fast bowler James Fuller was hammered for 32 by his countryman Scott Styris who was representing Sussex. Fuller conceded 38 runs at Hove in 2012 as he bowled two no-balls, one of which went for four byes and the other was dispatched to the boundary by Styris, who also hit two other fours and three sixes in the same over.

<p>The Sri Lankan all-rounder hammered 35 in an over against South Africa in Pallekele in 2013. It was an ODI match and the bowler at the receiving end was left-arm spinner, Robin Peterson. The over read 6, 6, WD, 6, 6, 4, 6 and the left-hander made his presence felt in a grand style.</p>
<h4><strong>9. Yuvraj Singh (India) &#8211; 36 v England:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_9404" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-9404" style="width: 709px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/01/Yuvraj-Singhh.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-9404"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-9404" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Yuvraj-Singhh.jpg" alt="Yuvraj Singh Six Sixes" width="709" height="606" sizes="(max-width: 709px) 100vw, 709px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-9404" class="wp-caption-text">Yuvraj Singh.

<p>The southpaw spanked England’s Stuart Broad for 6 sixes on a magical night in Durban. Freddie Flintoff’s unprovoked mutterings fired Yuvraj Singh up in the famous WorldT20 match in 2007. Yuvi vented his ire on the right-arm pacer and went on to score a blistering half-century off just 12 balls which is the record fastest fifty.</p>
<h4><strong>8. Herschelle Gibbs (South Africa) &#8211; 36 v Netherlands:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_50339" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50339" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/01/South-African-batsman-Herschelle-Gibbs-GettyImages.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-50339"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-50339" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/South-African-batsman-Herschelle-Gibbs-GettyImages.jpg" alt="Herschelle Gibbs 175 " width="640" height="509" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50339" class="wp-caption-text">South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs.

<p>South Africa’s attacking opener made it a day to remember for his fans with the perfect 6 against Netherlands in the 2007 ODI World Cup. By doing so, Gibbs made a charity one million dollars richer after the Johnny Walker Group had promised the amount if any player accomplished the feat. The venue was St. Kitts and the unfortunate bowler DLS van Bunge.</p>
<h4><strong>7. Ravi Shastri (Bombay) &#8211; 36 v Baroda:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_20789" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-20789" style="width: 395px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/06/Ravi-Shastri-1985-WC-e1433768244185.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-20789"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-20789" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Ravi-Shastri-1985-WC-e1433768244185.jpg" alt="Ravi Shastri World Championship Trophy 1985" width="395" height="261" sizes="(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-20789" class="wp-caption-text">Ravi Shastri.

<p>Playing for Bombay (now Mumbai) in a first-class game at his home ground, Wankhede stadium, Ravi Shastri spanked 6 sixes against Baroda in 1985. It was only the second instance of its kind in first-class cricket. The unfortunate victim of the assault was slow left-arm orthodox bowler Tilak Raj.</p>
<h4><strong>6. Sir Garfield Sobers (Nottinghamshire) &#8211; 36 v Glamorgan:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_8201" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-8201" style="width: 854px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2014/12/Sir-Garry-Sobers.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-8201"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-8201" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Sir-Garry-Sobers.jpg" alt="Sir Garry Sobers" width="854" height="601" sizes="(max-width: 854px) 100vw, 854px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-8201" class="wp-caption-text">Sir Garry Sobers. (Photo Source: Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>
<p>The greatest member of the perfect 6 club, the legendary Sobers became the first batsman ever to hit six sixes in a single over of six consecutive balls in first-class cricket on 31st August 1968. The left-handed genius was playing as captain of Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan at St. Helen’s in Swansea; the unfortunate bowler was Malcolm Nash. This tally of 36 runs in an over broke a 57-year-old record of 34 runs, held by Nottinghamshire’s Ted Alletson.</p>
<h4><strong>5. Chris Gayle (RCB) &#8211; 37 v KTK:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_15268" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-15268" style="width: 407px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/04/Chris-Gayle-RCB.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-15268"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-15268" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Chris-Gayle-RCB.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle RCB" width="407" height="303" sizes="(max-width: 407px) 100vw, 407px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-15268" class="wp-caption-text">Chris Gayle.

<p>Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in the 2011 IPL, the burly West Indian smashed Kochi Tuskers Kerala’s (KTK) left-arm pacer P Parameswaran for 36 runs off his bat. The over included a no-ball and read 6, 6+NB, 4, 4, 6, 6, 4. RCB was playing at its home ground in Bangalore and Gayle entertained the home fans to no end.</p>

<p>Playing for Gloucestershire the right-arm fast bowler James Fuller was hammered for 32 by his countryman Scott Styris who was representing Sussex. Fuller conceded 38 runs at Hove in 2012 as he bowled two no-balls, one of which went for four byes and the other was dispatched to the boundary by Styris, who also hit two other fours and three sixes in the same over.</p>
<h4><strong>3. Andrew Flintoff (Lancashire) &#8211; 38 v Surrey:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_50333" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50333" style="width: 592px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/01/Andrew-Flintoff-of-Lancashire.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-50333"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-50333" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Andrew-Flintoff-of-Lancashire.jpg" alt="Andrew Flintoff " width="592" height="477" sizes="(max-width: 592px) 100vw, 592px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50333" class="wp-caption-text">Andrew Flintoff of Lancashire.

<p>Right-arm pacer Alex Tudor’s over for Lancashire read NB, 6, 4, 4, 4, NB, 4, 6, 6, 0 in a first-class match against Surrey in 1998. The end result of 38 was a result of 2 extra runs for a No-Ball under the ECB regulations for the match. Andrew Flintoff enjoyed a great time against his former England teammate by smashing him to all parts of the ground.</p>
<h4><strong>2. Elton Chigumbura (Sheikh Jamal) &#8211; 39 v Abahani Ltd:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_34878" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-34878" style="width: 594px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2015/10/Elton-Chigumbura-Zimbabwe-vs-Pakistan-ODI-e1443951283623.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-34878"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-34878" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Elton-Chigumbura-Zimbabwe-vs-Pakistan-ODI-e1443951283623.jpg" alt="Chigumbura" width="594" height="403" sizes="(max-width: 594px) 100vw, 594px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-34878" class="wp-caption-text">Elton Chigumburaa.

<p>The Zimbabwean skipper was playing for his team Sheikh Jamal in a List A game at Dhaka in 2013 against Abahani Ltd. The all-rounder smashed 32 off his bat in an over that added 39 runs to his teams tally. The bowler was Alauddin Babu, the venue Dhaka and the over read 4NB, WD, 6, 4, 6, 4, 6, WD, 6.</p>
<h4><strong>1. Hardik Pandya &#8211; 39:</strong></h4>
<figure id="attachment_50595" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-50595" style="width: 640px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/2016/01/Irfan-Pathan-and-Hardik-Pandya.jpg" rel="attachment wp-att-50595"><img loading="lazy" class="size-full wp-image-50595" src="https://media.crictracker.com/media/attachments/Irfan-Pathan-and-Hardik-Pandya.jpg" alt="Irfan Pathan and Hardik Pandya" width="640" height="445" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px"></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-50595" class="wp-caption-text">Hardik Pandya.</figcaption></figure>
<p>Baroda’s Hardik Pandya had a memorable outing against Delhi in Vadodara in the ongoing Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 tourney. Pandya hit five sixes and a four off medium-pacer Akash Sudan, who also gave away four byes and a no-ball to take the tally to 39 for the over. The flamboyant all-rounder is one of India’s most promising cricketers and recently earned a call-up to the national T20 side.</p>
