Leo Carter became seventh cricketer to hit six sixes in an over.
India's 'sixer king' Yuvraj Singh welcomed a new member to the 'six sixes' club. Yuvraj, who had punished England's Stuart Broad with six sixes in an over during World T20 clash in 2007, was happy to add Leo Carter in the club for his recent achievement.
New Zealand's batsman, Carter got into the history books last Saturday. He smashed six sixes in an over off Anton Devcich's bowling.

The game was between Carter's team Canterbury Kings and Northern Knight at New Zealand's Twenty20 tournament Super Smash.
Yuvraj took Twitter and wrote, "Welcome Leo Carter to the six sixes club! That was some epic hitting, now please sign your jersey and give it to Devcich as a mark of respect ✊." The ex-India cricketer attached a picture of a scene from the Tom and Jerry cartoon series.
The 25-year-old batsman, Carter has become the 7th cricketer in the world to achieve this feat after Yuvraj, Ross Whiteley, Hazratullah Zazai in T20 cricket. In other formats, only Sir Garry Sobers, Ravi Shastri (first-class cricket) and Herschelle Gibbs have hit six sixes in an over.
