6 Players who hit the most Sixes in a Test innings-compressed

There are two ways of hitting the sixes in the game of cricket. The first method is by generating tremendous power from the bat against the pace of the delivery and the other method is by relying only on timing rather than power.

A batsman hitting sixes is quite common in T20Is and ODIs but that isn’t the same case when it comes to Tests. It is not that easy to play against the red ball because it tends to swing a lot more as compared to the white ball. As a result, the shot selection becomes rather complicated

However, some players surprised the cricket fraternity by unleashing stunning sixes. In this article, let’s take a look at the six players who smacked the most sixes in Test innings.

1. Wasim Akram

Wasim Akram smacked a total of 57 sixes in his Test career and he smashed as many as twelve sixes in a Test innings against Zimbabwe, the most by any player in the history of Test cricket.

2. Nathan Astle

Former New Zealand cricketer Nathan Astle who holds the record for scoring the fastest Test double ton comes second on the list as he hit a total of eleven sixes against England in Test cricket.
