    Meghalaya’s Akash Choudhary Smashes Fastest First-class Fifty With Eight Sixes In A Row

    By IANS News November 09, 2025 • 19:06 PM View: 950

    Meghalaya batter Akash Kumar Choudhary scripted history on Sunday, scoring the fastest fifty in the format and also becoming only the third player in first-class cricket to smash six sixes in an over on the second day of Meghalaya's Plate Group game in the Ranji Trophy against Arunachal Pradesh in Surat.

    The 25-year-old Akash also made history by smashing eight consecutive sixes, a feat never before achieved in this format, while racing to a record-breaking fifty in only 11 balls. His half-century surpassed the previous best, set by Leicestershire’s Wayne White, who reached fifty in 12 balls in 2012. Before that, Clive Inman had held the record since 1965 with a 13-ball fifty.
