Smashing 6 sixes in any form of the game is a great achievement and it is a milestone which a cricket fan doesn't get to witness everyday. However, in the Hong Kong Sixes tournament, Robin Uthappa, the India star got a taste of it when English batter, Ravi Bopara hammered him for 6 sixes in a row.

In the contest between England and India, England batted first and piled on 120 for the loss of just a solitary wicket in the allotted 6 overs. They took full advantage of the weak Indian bowling lineup as almost all the Indian bowlers went for plenty.

Bopara smacks Uthappa with monstrous sixes

Bopara, alongside fellow opener, Samit Patel smashed the Indian side to all corners of the park as they brought up their respective fifties. Both the batters looked dangerous, and Bopara was severe on India's Robin Uthappa, who looked clueless with the ball.

The English opener took a special liking and smacked him for 6 sixes in a row . The over also included a wide delivery as Uthappa went for 37 runs in a single over and seemingly gave away the win to England.

In reply, the morale of the Indian side was already low as they were never really in the contest. Bharat Chipli and Shreevats Goswami looked comfortable and smacked a couple of nice boundaries, but the target was too big to achieve as the rest of the batters faltered and the English side won the contest by 15 runs.
