Akash Choudhary Creates World Record with 8 Sixes and Fastest Fifty in First-Class Cricket
Meghalaya’s Akash Kumar Choudhary has created a world record by smashing “eight consecutive sixes” in a Ranji Trophy Plate Group match against “Arunachal Pradesh” in Surat. The 25-year-old Akash set a “world record” and shattered the long-standing record for the “fastest fifty in first-class cricket”.
Batting at number eight, Akash reached his half-century in just “11 balls and 9 minutes”—a remarkable feat that left cricket fans and analysts in awe. His knock — “50 runs off just 14 balls” — turned an ordinary domestic game into a landmark moment in Indian cricket.
Meghalaya, with an extraordinary performance, “declared their first innings at 628 for 6”, sealing their dominance in the match. But beyond the numbers, what stood out was Akash’s composure and clarity of intent. “My coach told me to go and attack, so I trusted my instincts,” he later said — a simple yet powerful statement that shows his fearless mindset.
Akash’s achievement is more than a record for Indian cricket; it’s a reminder that “talent shines brighter when opportunity meets belief”. Coming from Meghalaya—a state that is still carving its space in national cricket—his success underscores how regional players are stepping into the spotlight now with confidence and flair.
This moment also resonates deeply with fans across the nation. It’s a story of perseverance, talent, and a dream fulfilled — qualities that make it not just newsworthy but emotionally powerful and inspirational also.
Akash Kumar Chaudhary’s record-breaking 11-ball fifty has redefined the scope of new possibilities in first-class cricket — proving that from Meghalaya to Mumbai, the future of Indian cricket shines brighter with a wealth of fearless new stars.
