A village cricketer hit 39 runs - including six sixes in a row - off one over in Kent.
Abhijit Kale's achievement was helped by the fact there were nine deliveries - as there were three no balls, reports the Daily Mirror.
Abhijit scored a single off bowler Damion Grosscel's first ball, which was then matched by batting partner Michael Brown.
Then came a two by Abhijit - followed by a Garry Sobers style six consecutive sixes.
He said: "I'd be amazed if I ever did it again."
Abhijit, 34, from Mumbai, was playing for Kent League Division 3 team Linden Park against Catford Wanderers. The Tunbridge Wells-based side made 247, with Abhijit 152 not out, then they bowled out Catford for 134.
Skipper Stuart Clarke said: "We asked the bowler to pose for a photo after but he wasn't having it."
World record scorer off one over is Jonathan Hughes who whacked 42 for North Leeds in 2005.
The first man to hit six sixes off an over in first-class cricket was West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers for Notts in 1968.
