Indian cricket's most iconic moments at the Wankhede

#3 Ravi Shastri's six sixes vs Baroda, 1985

Long before Herschelle Gibbs and Yuvraj Singh hit six sixes in an over, Ravi Shastri had done it. He was only the second player after Sir Garfield Sobers to do so.

He did it for Mumbai against Baroda in the 1984-5 Ranji trophy season. It was Mumbai's turn to bat in the third innings. They led by a small margin of 30 runs. Ravi Shastri did not get a chance to bat in the first innings. He made sure that he more than made up for it in the second innings.

He brought up his hundred in 80 balls. He was on 147 when Tilak Raj, the Baroda spinner came to bowl. Shastri went after him as if there was no tomorrow. He managed to send all six deliveries over the ropes. The positioning of all these shots was between the straight leg-side field and long on.

From 147, the Mumbai batsman had moved on to 183. Within no time, he reached his double century. In the process, he also created the record for the fastest double century in first-class cricket. He reached it in 123 balls and 113 minutes.

Baroda just managed to escape from defeat as the scorecard for them read 81/7 at the end of the game.

Though Ravi Shastri achieved many accolades throughout his career, this feat ranks amongst the biggest moments of his cricketing journey.
