New Zealand batsman hits so many sixes, Sehwag’s record destroyed
Tim Southee Sixes Record: Many records have been made in the very first match of the Test series being played between India and New Zealand and are being made in the future also. No one expected that the New Zealand team would play so well after coming to India. Where Team India is on the back foot and shameful acts are being committed one after the other. The New Zealand team is on the front foot and is moving towards winning the match. Meanwhile, although Tim Southee is known as a fast bowler, he also hits a lot of sixes in Tests. If you are told that Tim Southee is among the top 10 batsmen who have hit most sixes in Tests, then perhaps you will be surprised. Meanwhile, now Saudi has broken the record of six not only in India but also of one of the explosive batsmen of the world, Virender Sehwag.
Ben Stokes has hit the most sixes in test.
At present, the batsman who has hit the most sixes in Test cricket is Ben Stokes. There are so many of his names that it is difficult to match them even now. So far, he has played 106 test matches and hit 131 sixes. After this, Brendon McCullum, one of the strongest batsmen of New Zealand, is at number two. He has hit 107 sixes in 101 test matches. Adam Gilchrist has hit 100 sixes in just 96 test matches. Apart from these three batsmen, no one has hit more than 100 sixes.
Tim Southee overtook Virender Sehwag
If we talk about Tim Southee, he has played 103 test matches so far. With this he has reached 92 sixes. Today he hit three sixes against Team India in Bengaluru and has gone ahead of Virender Sehwag. If we look at Virender Sehwag, he has played 104 matches during his Test career and has 91 sixes in his name. That is, overall, Tim Southee has played one less test than Sehwag and he has gone ahead of Sehwag.
Saudi can complete 100 sixes in test
Tim Southee is currently around 35 years old. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how many more years he can play cricket. Also, it will be interesting to see whether he is able to join the club which currently has only three batsmen. That means the batsman who hits 100 sixes. They are very close to it. If he does this, he will surpass South Africa’s Jacques Kallis and West Indies’ Chris Gayle. Kallis has 97 sixes in the test and Gayle has 98 sixes.
