Herschelle Gibbs – South Africa, 2007

South African opening batsman Herschelle Gibbs was the first batsman to hit six sixes in an over in a One-Day International (ODI) match. His feat came in the 2007 World Cup at St. Kitts, Basseterre, as he bludgeoned Daan van Bunge of Netherlands all around the park for six sixes in one over.
Gibbs became the third batsman to hit six sixes in an over and the first in international cricket. With that innings, Gibbs actually went on to raise US$ 1 million for charity as there was a contest run by the sponsors  Johnny Walker.
