The IPL 2026 season is hitting a lot of sixes and many records are also being broken and one such big record has been broken again.
Punjab Kings suffered their sixth consecutive defeat in IPL 2026, but the team's young player Cooper Connolly set a record.
In the match against RCB, left-handed Australian batsman Connolly scored 37 runs in 22 balls, which included 3 fours and 3 sixes.
With these 3 sixes, Connolly broke the oldest record of hitting sixes in IPL, which was made in the first season in 2008.
In fact, Connolly is playing in IPL for the first time and has scored 32 sixes so far this season.
Thus, he has become the player who scored the most sixes in his first season of IPL. He broke the record set by Sanath Jayasuriya (31) in 2008.
Connolly has scored 473 runs in 12 innings this season, which includes 39 fours and 32 sixes. He has also scored a century this season.
