DUBAI - Shahid Afridi has made a new histotic record in the PSL. He accomplished a feat never done before in (PSL) history by smacking four consecutive sixes in the match between Karachi Kings and Peshawar Zalmi.
Afridi's heroics, however, went in vain as Peshawar won their must-win encounter by 44 runs to help them remain in contention for a spot in the play-offs. Meanwhile, Karachi Kings, who were second on the table dropped to third while Peshawar stay in fifth.
Chasing 182 to win, Karachi found themselves staring down the barrel. In walked Afridi and the all-rounder gave his team a glimmer of hope with some powerful hitting. On the receiving end was 19-year-old Pakistani medium pacer Sameen Gul.
Gul was hit for three consecutive sixes and in the next over, off-spinner Liam Dawson was hit for another as Afridi became the first player in PSL to hit four sixes on the trot.
However, the joy was short-lived for Karachi fans as Afridi, attempting to hit his fifth consecutive six, fell to the impressive Dawson.
