South African batsman JP Duminy created history after slamming 37 runs in an over while playing for Cape Cobras. Duminy battered leg-spinner Eddie Leie for five sixes, a four and a double in an over, one run was off a no-ball, Leie’s 37-run over read 6 6 6 6 2 5nb 6.
"It is not every day you get the opportunity, so of course I was trying to go for the six sixes in an over," Duminy was quoted as saying by ESPNCricinfo after finishing unbeaten on 70 off just 37 balls.
With this incredible feat, Duminy broke the South African List A record for most runs scored in a single over. The carnage happened in the 36th over while chasing against the opposition Knights when Cobras were comfortably placed at 208 for 2, chasing a total of 240. But Duminy, batting on 34 off 30 balls, wanted to steal a bonus point.
