<p>Former West Indies captain and T20 great Kieron Pollard smashed Rashid Khan for five straight sixes in an over in The Hundred. Retiring from international cricket two years ago, Pollard took on Rashid, who is at the peak of his prowess, whacking him for five biggies and helping his team, Southern Brave, to a thrilling two-wicket win over Trent Rockets in Southampton.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With this, Pollard also became the first batter in all of cricket to smash five consecutive sixes in an over twice. During a T20I against Sri Lanka in 2021, Pollard became the first batter from West Indies to hit six sixes in an over to Akila Dananjaya.</p>

<p>With Southern Brave needing 49 off 20 balls, Pollard, who struggled in the beginning, scoring just six off 14 balls, upped the ante by taking on the best T20 bowler in the world.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He began with a first shot over the cow corner and then whacked two straight in the long-off area. He hit the fourth six at deep mid-wicket before wrapping up with another one over Rashid’s head.</p>

<p>Soon after, Pollard got out on 45 off 23 balls but had the game in the pocket for his team, which won the game by two wickets and one ball remaining.</p>

<p>Speaking of his match-winning knock, and especially his inning against Rashid, the former West Indies captain said, “I had to make a play at some point. I was really slow to start, but I didn't think it was a pitch where you could just come in and hit the ball, so I had to really try and calculate and pick my bowler.</p>

<p>“I've played against Rash a lot, and he's got me out a lot of times, so I had to see what was happening, but I knew the sort of line and length he was going to bowl.&nbsp;</p>

<p>“If he bowled full, I was going to back my strength, which is hitting straight, and he bowled three fuller balls, and it was right in my arc. I couldn't stop at that point in time, I had to get the maximum. Rash is a world-class bowler, but this was just one of the days where I took victory.”</p>
