Reference to Times of India. AHMEDABAD: Akash Kumar Choudhary, a young all-rounder of Meghalaya, made the history of first-class cricket at the C.K. Pithawala Ground at Surat on Sunday as the first cricketer to score eight consecutive sixes. The 25-year-old giant did this remarkable job when he had to play against Arunachal Pradesh in a Ranji Trophy (Plate) match and while doing so, the domestic league was being illuminated with one of the most explosive performances ever witnessed.
Rapidest Half Century in First Class History.
The beautiful batting that Akash had started with was a six hit by the spinner, Limar Dabi, six times in a row on the left side and two more times on the right, by another spinner, T.N. Mohith. He not only broke the record of six sixes shared by Ravi Shastri and Garfield Sobers with this performance but he broke the fastest fifty in first-class cricket, 11 balls only, and his strike rate of 357.14.
Since Ordinary Beginnings to Noble Heights.
Akash was born in Shillong, son of a welder and tailor- which is a testimony to his rise to the headlines of the country, having started with humble origins. In an interview with The Times of India, Akash said, with a jubilant voice, that I could have hit three out of six, and then I thought it was possible to hit six of them. It was a spontaneous decision. He said, our group intended to make the declaration as soon as possible, and I made as many points as possible.
There was a Record Knock buoyed by confidence.
The versatile attributed his current success to his fearless batting. He brought with him the confidence of my past innings against Bihar where I had made 60 with four sixes. This self-confidence obviously flowed to one of the greatest memorable knocks in the history of domestic cricket.
Dominating Meghalaya Performance.
Meghalaya amassed 628/6 declared and Arunachal Pradesh were bowled out on 73 in their first innings and 29/3 following up. And to make it worse, Akash also took three wickets in the two innings, which made him an all-round genius.
It is Not about the Critics, But the Game.
In a question about his record being down-graded because of the inferior position of the opposition, Akash responded in a very composed manner that, it was not in his hands. My job is to perform. It is possible to win anybody in a cricket game and I simply played according to the circumstances.
Inspired by India’s Finest
Akash is inspired by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Hardik Pandya, who are symbolic of Indian pace. Having accomplished this historical milestone, the Meghalaya star now is a company of elites and declared himself one of the most promising talents in India.
