Urvil Patel Misses Record of Hitting Six Consecutive Sixes in IPL History Urvil Patel of Chennai Super Kings came agonizingly close to etching his name into IPL history but fell short of achieving the feat of hitting six consecutive sixes in six balls. During a match against Lucknow Super Giants, the young batsman struck five back-to-back sixes in a single over but was unable to complete the record. His sixth shot, which came in the next over, resulted in a boundary instead of a six, leaving him just one shot away from the milestone. This incident has reignited discussions about the rarity of such a feat in the IPL. The IPL, now in its 19th season, has seen a surge in aggressive batting, with players consistently hitting boundaries at an unprecedented rate. However, despite the high-scoring nature of the tournament, no batsman has managed to hit six sixes in a single over. The closest any player has come to this record is hitting five consecutive sixes, a feat achieved by several cricketers over the years. Patel, however, is the fifth player to accomplish this in IPL history, joining an elite group that includes Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Rinku Singh, and Vaibhav Suryavanshi. The attempt by Patel to break the record was particularly notable because it occurred in a high-intensity match where the pressure to score quickly was immense. His performance began with a powerful start, as he smashed the first three deliveries for sixes. The fourth and fifth balls of the over were also dispatched for six, showcasing his ability to maintain momentum. However, the sixth delivery, which came from the same bowler, was a slower yorker that Patel attempted to clear the boundary but ended up hitting a four instead.#rajasthan_royals #chennai_super_kings #lucknow_super_giants #riyan_parag #urvil_patel
