Tim Southee created history in the last test of his career, equaled Chris Gayle

Tim Southee Equals Chris Gayle Sixes Record: New Zealand’s star fast bowler Tim Southee is playing the last test of his international career against England. The English team is on New Zealand tour for a three-Test series. The third and last Test of the series is being played at Seddon Park in Hamilton. This is the last Test of Saudi’s career, in which he has created history and equaled former West Indies batsman Chris Gayle.

Actually, Tim Southee has equaled Chris Gayle in hitting sixes in Test cricket. Batting in the first innings of the third Test being played against England, Saudi scored 23 runs in 10 balls with the help of 1 four and 3 sixes. With these 3 sixes, Saudi equaled Chris Gayle. Gayle hit 98 sixes in his Test career. Saudi has also hit 98 sixes.

The thing to note is that Saudi still has one more innings left in the last Test of his career. In such a situation, if he gets a chance to bat in the second innings, he can break Gayle’s record by hitting just one six. Apart from this, he would like to complete a century of sixes by hitting 2 sixes in the second innings. The record of hitting most sixes in Test cricket is held in the name of current England captain Ben Stokes. Stokes has hit 133 sixes so far.
