West Indies all-rounder Gary Sobers hit 6 sixes in 6 balls in first-class cricket on 31 August 1968 and became the first cricketer to achieve this feat.
Sobers was playing as captain for Nottinghamshire against Glamorgan when Malcolm Nash came to bowl.

Sobers made five consecutive clean hits, but on the sixth he was caught for the boundary. However, fielder Roger Davies carried the ball over the rope, resulting in six sixes in the first over and adding to the achievement.

Is the moment that gripped you to T20 cricket? pic.twitter.com/OE4urnbdUY
Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh became the second batsman from India to hit 6 sixes. Yuvraj Singh's attack on the England cricket team during the World Cup T20 game in South Africa in 2007 and the helpless Stuart Broad will be forgotten by few. Not only this, Yuvraj was the first batsman who had hit 6 consecutive sixes on the balls of a fast bowler, before whoever had made this record, he had made it on the balls of spin bowlers. Yuvraj had a heated argument with Andrew Flintoff before Broad bowled the 19th over.
However, it was Broad who would pay the final price in the next six balls as an angry Singh took his brilliant vengeance. Yuvi, with excellent timing and shot selection, hit six consecutive sixes.
At that point, Shastri was behind the mic, and who better to call the action. Yuvraj Singh has retired.

South African opener Herschelle Gibbs became the first batsman to hit six consecutive sixes in international cricket. From the mid-1990s to 2010, he was South Africa's most exciting and explosive batsman. During the 2007 World Cup, Dan Van Bunge of the Netherlands made history by hitting sixes off the balls of whose over.
The pompous right-handed batsman with breath-taking skill hit Van Bunge's delivery flat and high. Gibbs is the only person to have achieved this feat in a 50-over World Cup game and is the first player to do so at an international level.
