3 Players with Most Sixes for Team India in Tests-compressed

Usually, the majority of the players try not to take calculated risks in hitting sixes too often in Test cricket. Cricketers tend to adjust themselves in a way that they play the ball down the ground in the hope that they play longer innings. However, some cricketers brave the challenges and take risks to play the game with intent.

India have been blessed with plenty of batting superstars who made waves with the bat in international cricket. It is always an extraordinary feeling and a great sense of accomplishment for the batters when they hit a six in Test cricket. It gives them a huge boost and confidence going forward about their work.

In this listicle, let us now get to know more about the three players with the most sixes for India in Tests.

1. Virender Sehwag

Former Indian opening batter Virender Sehwag has had a stellar Test career during his playing days. The Nawab of Najafgarh comes first on the list as he smacked 90 sixes (178 innings), the most by an Indian in Test cricket. Overall, he scored 8586 runs at a terrific batting average of 49.3 including 23 centuries, 32 fifties, 6 double centuries and 2 triple centuries.

MS Dhoni has struck as many as 78 sixes (144 innings) in the longest format of the game.

3. Rohit Sharma
