Kolkata Knight Riders pacer Shivam Mavi had a day to forget with the ball as the young fast bowler was taken to the cleaners in his final over in Match 53 of IPL 2022 against Lucknow Super Giants. Mavi’s over, the penultimate one of the innings, changed the course of the innings and helped Lucknow finish with momentum by their side as they posted 176 in their quota of 20 overs.

Shivam Mavi conceded as many 5 sixes and picked up a wicket in the dramatic over at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. The 23-year-old was hit for three successive sixes by Australian all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who swung the momentum in favour of LSG. However, Mavi had the last laugh, getting the wicket of Stoinis in the 4th delivery of the over.

It was a fuller delivery that was there to be hit but Stoinis hit it straight into the hands of Shreyas Iyer, the KKR captain who was stationed at deep mid-wicket.

However, Mavi could not end the over on a high as he was hit for 2 more sixes by West Indies all-rounder Jason Holder, who walked into bat in the penultimate over.

Shivam Mavi, by conceding 5 sixes, equalled an unwanted record for the most number of maximums conceded in an over in the IPL. He became only the 4th bowler to do so. Notably, no bowler has conceded 6 sixes in a row in the IPL.
