The all-rounder, 25, joined a select group of Ravi Shastri and Garfield Sobers, the only two to hit six maximums in an over in first-class cricket. Son of a welder and tailor, the Shillong-born batter smashed left-arm spinner Limar Dabi for six sixers, followed by two more against offie T N Mohith, and also etched his name in annals of world cricket by smashing the fastest half-century (off 11 balls, SR of 357.14) in an FC match.
