Christchurch, Jan 5: <\/strong>Canterbury batsman Leo Carter achieved a rare feat on Sunday as he smashed six sixes in an over to becoming only the fourth batsman to do so.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

In the 16th over of a T20 Super Smash tournament at Hagley Oval here, Carter hammered left-arm spinner Anton Devcich, who was bowling for Northern Districts. It was Carter's heroics which helped Canterbury overhaul a challenging 220-run target with seven balls to spare.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Carter remained unbeaten on 70 off just 29 balls and his knock was laced with three boundaries and seven hits into the stands.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The other batters who have achieved the feat in T20s, include India's Yuvraj Singh (2007), Worcestershire's Ross Whitely (2017) and Afghanistan's Hazratullah Zazai (2018).<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Significantly, Garry Sobers and Ravi Shastri had also achieved the feat however, that came in first-class cicket.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\r\n

36 off an over!
\r\n
\r\nLeo Carter hit 6 sixes in a row and the @CanterburyCrick<\/a> Kings have pulled off the huge chase of 220 with 7 balls to spare at Hagley Oval!
