20 runs off one ball – Travis Birt in Big Bash League 2012
First time ever in the history of Cricket, 20 runs were scored in a single delivery, which actually started with a legal delivery and was followed by two no-balls, both of which were hit for a six again. This was hit by Travis Birt in the match between Hobart Hurricanes and Melbourne Stars which was won by Melbourne. Birt hit the three sixes which included a single legal delivery, off the bowling of Clint McKay. This match was a part of the KFC Big Bash League 2011/12​
