Manan Bashir, a Bulgarian cricketer, achieved the remarkable feat of hitting six consecutive sixes in an over. This accomplishment makes him only the sixth batter in cricket history to do so, emulating iconic performances by players like Yuvraj Singh and Herschelle Gibbs.
Bashir is known as a six-hitting phenomenon with a career total of 175 sixes and an average of 2.0 sixes per match, highlighting his powerful batting style.

During the 16th over of Bulgaria's innings, with Isa Zaroo well set at the crease and Manan Bashir as his partner, Gibraltar captain Iain Latin introduced Kabir Mirpuri into the attack-a move that backfired spectacularly. Mirpuri endured a nightmare over, conceding six consecutive sixes in what was only his third over, dealing a major blow to Gibraltar's bowling plans.
Manan Bashir is a Bulgaria cricketer who plays as a right-hand batsman and wicketkeeper and has demonstrated his ability to clear the boundary multiple times in recent matches, including several sixes in T20 games. This six-sixes achievement was part of a match against Gibraltar in the ECN Bulgaria T20I series in 2025.
In this high-stakes contest, Bashir's late-innings power-hitting was pivotal, as he cleared the boundary six times in a single over. This extraordinary achievement not only helped secure a clinical victory for Bulgaria but also etched Bashir's name into the record books as one of the few to accomplish this rare milestone.
Across all formats of cricket, Bashir has become only the 12th player to make this amazing achievement. In international cricket, he is the 6th one to do so and the first European player to do so.
