After the 5th and 6th, the only person that crossed my mind was Yuvraj Singh. We had seen him hit six sixes in an over then.Gaikwad achieved the feat in the 49th over of the Maharashtra innings; the bowler considered a no ball in the 5th delivery of the over, which was also smashed over the boundary ropes of Narendra Modi Stadium B in Ahmedabad.Gaikwad said, I would like to give credit to all my teammates and my family members in Maharashtra. To be honest, there is a pleasure in each and every game I play.He said, It’s not the first time I am doing it; I am used to doing it, so obviously I know what I had to do and what I had to ask of the other players. I got really good support in the middle, and being a senior player, I had to deliver at a crucial stage.Gaikwad carried his bat through the inning for a sensational, unbeatable knock of 220 runs in 159 balls, which contained 10 fours and 16. Indeed, a great feat of achievement by the youngster Rituraj Gaikwad.
