Test cricket is a format in which batsman have enough time to settle on the crease and can bat with patience. It is very rare to see batsmen hitting sixes at regular intervals in the longest format. However, there have been some cricketers who play with the same aggressive mindset even in a five-day format. In this particular article, we will be listing out those five players who have hit the most sixes in the history of Test cricket. 5.

He scored 8586 runs in the format at an incredible strike rate of 82.33. Sehwag smashed 91 sixes and 1233 fours in his Test career. He hit 23 centuries and 32 fifties.

What is the longest six in cricket history? While there are countless Youtube videos and skewed historical records on this, there's possibly only one correct answer, although that is likely to change in the coming years with the introduction of the T20 format and the importance of a power-hitter. Batters shrugged off the safety first approach early on in the innings and a lot of sixes are being hit today not only in a T20 game but also in ODIs and Tests. A score of 300 is no more safe in a 50-over game while Tests are not ending in a bore draw anymore. Clearly, the players built specifically for hard-hitting are most sought after in the T20 leagues as well today. Such players tend to smack the ball a long way and here we take a look at the longest six in cricket history. Along with that, we will also go deep into the list of longest sixes hit in the history of the sport. Longest six in cricket history Shahid Afridi Legendary Pakistan cricketer Shahid Afridi is at the top of the list of the longest six in cricket history. During the game between Pakistan and South Africa, Shahid Afridi tore apart the Proteas bowler Ryan McLaren by smacking a whopping 153 metre six. It is the longest six in cricket history as per the official records. It was the third ODI played in Johannesburg and Afridi lit up the stadium with an 88-run knock. Even though his knock came in a losing cause, his 153-metre six became the talk of the town. Brett Lee Nine years down the line, no player has ever ...
