A day before Rohit Sharma rained sixes in St Lucia against Australia, 27-year-old software engineer V Kamesh was raining sixes miles away in Baliawas in Gurugram (popularly known as Gurgaon).

The right-handed batsman produced 80 in 23 balls, an innings that included eight consecutive sixes – five successive in one over of a spinner and three successive ones in the next over of a medium pacer. His innings, and a century (110 off 60 balls) by Sooraj Bhalla, helped Palam Vihar Cricket Club beat Team Avengers 11 in a CCL Blasters Tournament Season 8.

“It was a flat pitch. We had already crossed 150 when I came and I went out to hit and did my job,” said Kamesh, who is a software developer in paisabazaar.com.

The Gurugram resident, an army kid, has been playing cricket since college days. 

“Two of the sixes were over cover, one over mid-wicket, and the rest straight,” he added.

Bhalla held the innings together and himself hit five sixes and 12 fours.

“It was a good flat deck,” said Bhalla, a patent lawyer, who studied in Dehradun and works with Remfry and Sagar IPR firm in Gurugram.

Palam Vihar scored 295/3 in 20 overs while Team Avengers, which includes Atul Kasana, a veteran of 1300 matches, came close and ended at 232/6. Kasana scored 104 off 55 balls.
