Earlier in 2012, Shaw's current DC teammate Ajinkya Rahane had also hit 6 fours in an over while playing for Rajasthan Royals. Rahane did it against RCB's Sreesanth Arvind and it was the 14th over of the innings. Rahane also scored an unbeaten century in that match. Apart from this, in 2013, Luke Wright also hit 6 fours in an over but it was across two overs. (Photo: PTI)
