Indian batsman Ruturaj Gaikwad on Monday smashed an unprecedented seven successive sixes in one over of a 50-overs domestic match -- courtesy of a no-ball, reports AFP.

He is the first player to hit seven sixes in one over in a List A category match.

Left-arm spinner Shiva Singh was on the receiving end of his six-hitting blitz in the 49th over.

Ruturaj Gaikwad, 25, finished unbeaten on 220 as his team made 330-5.

Gaikwad made his T20 international debut last year after a sterling performance as an attacking opener with Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League.
