Record 33 sixes hit in CSK vs Rajasthan Royals clash in Sharjah

SHARJAH: A total of 33 sixes were hit during the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2020 clash between Chennai Super Kings and Rajasthan Royals which the Steve Smith-led side won at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium.

This was the same number of sixes hit during an IPL match between Chennai Super Kings and Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2018.

On Tuesday, Sanju Samson led the sixes chart with nine maximums, followed by Steve Smith (4), Jofra Archer (4), Shane Watson (4), Faf du Plessis (7), Sam Curran (2) and MS Dhoni (3).

Coming to the match, Samson's blistering 32-ball 74 at No.3, fast bowler Jofra Archer's fireworks with the bat — he carted four consecutive sixes in the last over — and leggie Rahul Tewatia's three-wicket burst helped Rajasthan Royals to a comfortable 16-run win over Chennai Super Kings. (IANS)
