Abhijit Kale, A Village Cricketer Took 39 Runs In A Over

Abhijit Kale took 39 runs in a single over including six sixes in a row in Kent. The over completed in 9 balls because there are 3 no balls in that particular over.

Abhijit scored a single off bowler Damion Grosscel's first ball, which was then matched by batting partner Michael Brown. Then came a two by Abhijit - followed by a Garry Sobers style six consecutive sixes.

Abhijit was playing for Kent League Division 3 team Linden Park against Catford Wanderers. The Tunbridge Wells-based side made 247, with Abhijit 152 not out, then they bowled out Catford for 134.

Jonathan Hughes scored most runs in an over. He took 42 runs for North Leeds in 2005.

West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers was the first man who hit 6 sixes in an over in the first class match for Notts in 1968.

Temple For Cricketer

Temple For Cricketer

Indian cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni is to be worshipped as a god after fans announced they're building a temple devoted to him.

A white marble statue of the sports star will be the centrepiece of the temple when work starts next month in his home town of Ranchi, eastern India.

Relief carvings of the player in action will also look down on disciples as they pay homage to his success in restoring the country's cricketing reputation.

"Dhoni is God to cricket and we have decided to construct a temple. He will be worshipped like other gods are worshipped in temples," explained Jitendra Singh, president of Dhoni's fan club.

But Dhoni has doubts about being worshipped by his disciples: "I love my fans but this is actually a little over the top," he said.

Indian cricket historian and Oxford scholar Boria Mazumdar called the decision "extreme passion".

"To call it madness would be a simple way to dismiss it. But I think the act exemplifies what cricket means for India," he added.

Dhoni has helped India win the inaugural 20:20 World Cup in South Africa and a number of key home and away series against Australia and England.
