4 Indian batsmen…who hit the most sixes in 50 innings in T20, top 2 batsmen have the same number of sixes.

New Delhi. When Indian batsmen take the field in the shortest format of cricket i.e. T20 International, it is almost certain that sixes will rain. In the third T20 match played against England, the young batsmen of the Indian team may not have been able to play big innings as expected, but during their short innings, two young batsmen Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan have registered their names in the history books with golden letters. For both these batsmen, this match was the 50th innings of their T20 International career and after crossing this milestone, they have equaled the great records of legends like Suryakumar Yadav and Yuvraj Singh.

Fans were expecting a big and explosive innings from Indian opener Abhishek Sharma in the match. However, Abhishek could not stay at the crease for long in this match and he scored only 10 runs facing 7 balls. But during this short innings, he hit such a skyscraper six, which directly took him to the top in the history of Indian cricket.

On the basis of this one six, Abhishek Sharma has equaled a very special record of former Indian T20 captain and Suryakumar Yadav, who is called ‘Mr. 360 Degree’. Now Abhishek and Suryakumar have jointly become the batsmen for India to hit the most sixes in the first 50 innings of T20 International. A total of 104-104 sixes have been registered in both their names after the first 50 innings of their career. The speed with which Abhishek has touched this figure has proved that he is at the forefront of the race to become the next Sixer King of Indian cricket.

Ishaan’s bat also did not perform well in this match and he returned to the pavilion after scoring 13 runs on 9 balls. In this innings, Ishaan hit a four and a brilliant six. Even though he failed to play a big innings, that one six of his brought him at par with the biggest match winner of Indian cricket, Yuvraj Singh.
