New Delhi, Aug 13: A 13-year-old schoolboy from England created history as he claimed six wickets in six deliveries, all of them clean bowled.
Luke Robinson produced a match-winning effort for Philadelphia Cricket Club's Under-13s.
The cricketer's family were all present in the arena to witness his remarkable achievement. His father Stephen was umpiring at the bowler's end and witnessed his son reach this feat.
As per reports, the officials at the club are now checking the records to see if the feat has ever been achieved in its 149-year existence. The feat is not something you see every day in any form of the game be it T20, Test matches or ODIs.
Luke's mother Helen was the first person to record her son's feat as she was scoring the match. His younger brother was fielding and grandfather watching the match from the boundary.

Each ball the teenager sent down produced a wicket - leaving him with figures of six wickets for one run.
Luke's dad Stephen, who is also a junior coach at Philadelphia and still plays for the senior team said, "It was a surreal experience, adding, "I have been playing for 30 years and have taken hat-tricks but never anything like this.
"Time stood still and I thought, 'is this really happening?"
