Former Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera scripted history, as he smashed six sixes in an over in the ongoing Asian Legends League affair between Sri Lankan Lions and Afghanistan Pathans. Coming at number five, Perera hammered 108 runs off just 36 balls with the help of two boundaries and thirteen sixes. 

Perera Enters Elite List; Slams 6 Sixes In An Over

Thisara Perera had his moment of glory when he hammered six sixes in an over off Ayaan Khan. The incident occurred during the final over of the Lions' innings when Perera was trying to ensure a fitting finish for his side. 

The Pathans' captain Asghar Afghan's decision to bring Ayaan for the last over backfired on his team, as Perera launched him for six huge maximums to conclude the innings. After the spinner started his over with a wide, Perera dispatched his next three deliveries straight into the stands. 

The bowler tried to outfox Perera by changing his angle, but the southpaw continued his onslaught, hitting the rest of the deliveries for sixes. Thus, Ayaan conceded 39 runs, including three wides, with the Lions posting a mammoth total of 230 runs in 20 overs. 

Afghanistan Pathans Get A Brisk Start

Chasing 231, the Pathans lost Mausib Khan and Shoaib Khan in quick succession. However, interestingly, Ayaan Khan, has got a great start and seems determined to turn things around with the bat. As of writing, the Pathans were 52 for two, with Shabir Noori and Ayaan batting on 9* and 27*, respectively.
