Aritharan Vaseekaran joined a special group of cricketers after smacking six sixes in an over on Friday. The 34-year-old achieved the feat while representing Bayer Uerdingen Boosters in the ECS T10 Krefeld against Koln Challengers.

Several fans reacted to the special feat online, celebrating Vaseekaran's achievement.

Aritharan Vaseekaran achieved the feat in the fifth over of the game, carting Ayush Sharma to all corners of the ground. The batsman hit his first six over mid-wicket, slogging a full delivery with all his might. It was a back of a length delivery that met the same fate next, with Vaseekaran standing tall to pull one over the square leg boundary.

Ayush Sharma targeted the stumps with his next ball, but Aritharan Vaseekaran was up to the task. He came down the track and dispatched his third six over deep mid-wicket.

The pressure seemed to get to Sharma, who bowled an innocuous half-volley next. Aritharan Vaseekaran did not miss out on the gift, getting his front foot out of the way to heave one over square leg. He made it five from five by smacking another back of a length delivery for six before completing the historic feat with a sensational hit over cow corner.
