USA Cricketer Jaskaran Malhotra had made everyone look at him by hitting all the six balls out of the park in an over. His batting prowess helped him to join the elite list of former Indian player Yuvraj Singh, former South African batsman Herschelle Gibbs and West Indies player Kieron Pollard.

Jaskaran Malhotra achieved a rare record during the match against Papua New Guinea. Overall, he is the second batsman to hit six sixes in the ODI format, while Herschelle Gibbs was the first one to achieve the record.

His sensational knock also helped him to make another record of emerging as the first cricketer from the United States to add a century to his name. He scored 173 runs in the match, which included 16 sixes and four fours.

With Malhotra's heroics, the USA put up a score of 271 on the scoreboard. However, Papua New Guinea was bowled out for 137 by the USA. With the stunning win in the second ODI, the USA had won the series by 2-0.
