# Arshdeep Singh matches rare Indian ODI six-hitting record at No. 11 2026-11-15T07:41:56+00:00 | Sports | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Outlets counted: abplive.com, timesofindia.indiatimes.com India's Arshdeep Singh hit two sixes in a four-ball cameo of 14 runs while batting at No. 11 in the fifth ODI against New Zealand on Sunday (15 November 2026) in Mount Maunganui. The left-arm pacer became only the third Indian batter to hit two sixes in an ODI innings at that batting position, joining Venkatesh Prasad (1996) and Mohammed Shami (2014). Arshdeep also became the third Indian No. 11 to hit a six off the first ball of his innings, after Venkatesh Prasad and Jasprit Bumrah. He was dismissed by Jacob Duffy in the 43rd over. India were bowled out for 209 in 42.1 overs after being put in to bat, with Ishan Kishan and Axar Patel top-scoring with 46 each. New Zealand's bowlers shared the wickets, with Duffy and captain Mitchell Santner taking three each. ## Indian Opinion Analysis Both Times of India and ABP Live report the same batting record factually, with ABP Live adding broader match context such as India's total of 209 and the top scorers.
