48 years since 1st ever 'six 6s' in an over
Former West Indian cricketer Garfield Sobers became the first ever batsman in the history of the game to hit six sixes in an over on August 31, 1968. Captaining Nottinghamshire, Sobers hit Glamorgan's Malcolm Nash for six sixes, the first and last of which ended outside the ground.​ Notably, Sobers declared the innings right after the end of the over.
