Team India created history in Kanpur, left England behind by hitting so many sixes in a year

India Record Most Sixes in Calendar Year Test: In the second test match against Bangladesh, the Indian team has batted in a explosive manner. Whichever player is coming to the crease, he is busy hitting fours and sixes. Talking about Test cricket, now the Indian team has become the team to hit the most sixes within a year. Team India players have hit 90 sixes so far in the year 2024 and this number is going to increase further.

Earlier, England had the record of hitting most sixes in Test matches within a year. The players of England together had set a record of hitting a total of 89 sixes in the year 2022. But now the Indian team has made this record in its name by touching the figure of 90 sixes. It is also an interesting fact that Indian players have achieved this record in just 14 innings.

This year especially, Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal have been taking full advantage of their ability to hit long sixes. Remind that just a year before England, India had hit 87 sixes in 2021. Especially if we talk about England, due to the ‘baseball’ mentality, the players of the English team have been batting fast, but India has shown who is playing the real ‘baseball’ cricket.
