T20I Premier Cup: Nepal all-rounder Dipendra Singh Airee has become the third batter to hit six sixes in an over in men’s T20Is. Airee achieved the momentous feat by smashing six sixes in an over in the ACC Men's T20I Premier Cup clash against Qatar at the Al Amerat Cricket Ground here on Saturday.

Airee, who smashed the six sixes in the last over of Nepal’s innings against medium pacer Kamran Khan, has now joined Yuvraj Singh and Kieron Pollard to become the third batter to achieve this feat in men's T20Is.

His feat meant that Airee went from 28 off 15 balls before the start of the over to 64 from 21 balls and took Nepal to 210/7. Yuvraj was the first batter to smash six sixes when he did so in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2007 off Stuart Broad. Pollard joined him in the exclusive club in 2021 by smashing Akila Dananjaya for six sixes in Coolidge.
