Most runs scored in a single over in Tests

#3 Shahid Afridi - 27 runs vs Harbhajan Singh at Lahore, 2006

Afridi was on song against Harbhajan at Lahore in 2006

Shahid Afridi was a strange player. He was considered a part-time bowler but caused more damage with the ball than the lead bowlers. With the bat, which was his primary role, he was highly unreliable and could implode at any moment.

However, when things went in his favour, he was the most destructive force in the universe and his bat was a weapon which could not be contained.

On most occasions, Indians were at the receiving end and when Afridi decided to butcher the red ball, it was Harbhajan Singh who paid the price.

In the first Test at Lahore in 2006, Pakistan won the toss and their batsmen made effective use of the conditions. Younis and Yousuf added more than 300 runs for the third wicket and then came Afridi to inflict further damage.

In the 136th over, the right-hand batsman smashed Harbhajan for four consecutive sixes. The four sixes disappeared in the arc between square leg and long-on while the fifth and sixth deliveries yielded two and one, respectively.

Afridi scored his century off just 78 balls and the Test ended in a draw as only eight wickets fell in 220 overs.
