Earlier, Yuvraj Singh had slammed sixes in an over against England in inaugural 2007 T20 World Cup while Herschelle Gibbs of South Africa had hit sixes against the Netherlands in 2007 World Cup(ODI).
Pollard was finally dismissed for 38 off 11 balls. He had arrived at the crease after Dananjaya’s hat-trick. But the West Indies skipper attacked the spinner from the first ball. He smacked him all around the park as the West Indies teammates stood up to applaud the remarkable achievement.
