Former India cricketer Yuvraj Singh is a rare club of cricketers who have managed to hit six sixes in an over in T20 cricket. West Indies batter Rovman Powell almost replicated that feat while turning out for Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan’s team LA Knight Riders in the Major League Cricket (MLC) 2026 match against Seattle Orcas in Dallas on Sunday.
Powell, who was retained by Kolkata Knight Riders for Rs 1.5 crore ahead of IPL 2026, smashed Sri Lanka all-rounder Dasun Shanaka for five sixes in one over before being dismissed off the final ball while attempting the record-equalling sixth maximum. His amazing onslaught came in the 17th over of the innings with LAKR struggling at 138 for 5 after losing the wicket of their skipper Jason Holder.

The former West Indies captain smashed Shanaka to all parts of the Dallas stadium to garner five sixes off the first five balls off his final over. The final ball of the over ended up in pacer Ottneil Baartman’s hands at short third-man as Powell was dismissed for 37 off 11 balls with 5 sixes and 1 four.

Powell’s onslaught was just the fillip that LAKR needed as they posted 196 in 20 overs. Shanaka, who turned out for Shubman Gill’s Gujarat Titans in IPL 2026, had claimed the wicket of Andre Fletcher before Powell took him apart.
In reply, the Orcas were dismissed for only 115 in 15.3 overs. For LAKR, Powell’s former Windies teammate Andre Russell claimed 3 for 8 while USA pacer Shadley van Schalkwyk picked up 3 for 17. Van Schalkwyk was USA’s leading wicket-taker in T20 World Cup 2026 campaign – claiming four-wicket haul against champions India too.
“It’s a pleasing feeling; starting the competition well is great. We just need to keep getting better and keep the momentum going. We knew that with a good powerplay, one or two wickets, we would be in the game. It was a pretty good wicket and it was easy to stem the flow of runs. We need to keep our heads down, stay focussed and get ready for the next game. The two boys have been quality,” LAKR skipper Holder said after the match.
Powell had turned out in 11 matches for KKR in IPL 2026 while scoring 190 runs at an average of 38 and a strike-rate of 134.75.
