Spots : Many records were made in the very first match of the Test series between India and New Zealand and will continue to be made in future too. No one expected that Team New Zealand would play so well after reaching India. Where Team India is lagging behind and shameful acts are happening one after the other. On the other hand, Team New Zealand is on the lead and is headed towards victory. Although Tim Southee is known as a fast bowler, he also hits sixes continuously in Tests. If you are told that Tim Southee is among the top 10 batsmen who have hit the most sixes in Tests, then you might be surprised. Meanwhile, Saudi Arabia not only broke the record of six Indian batsmen, but also broke the record of Virender Sehwag, who made the most hits with the bat in the world. Ben Stokes is currently the batsman who has hit the most sixes in Test cricket. There are so many of their names that it is difficult to name them at present. He has played 106 test matches so far and has hit 131 sixes. At number two is Brendon McCullum, one of New Zealand's most powerful batsmen. He hit 107 sixes in 101 test matches. Adam Gilchrist hit 100 sixes in just 96 test matches. Apart from these three batsmen, no one hit more than 100 sixes.
Talking about Tim Southee, he has played 103 test matches so far. He hit 92 sixes. He hit three sixes off Virender Sehwag against India today in Bengaluru. If we look at Virender Sehwag, he has played 104 matches in his Test career and has hit 91 sixes. This means that overall Tim Southee has played one test less than Sehwag and he is ahead of Sehwag.
Tim Southee is now around 35 years old. In such a situation, it remains to be seen how many more years he can play cricket. It will also be interesting to see if he can join a club that currently has only three batsmen. It refers to a batsman who hits 100 sixes. They are very close. If he succeeds, he will surpass South Africa's Jacques Kallis and West Indies' Chris Gayle. Kallis has 97 sixes in his name while Gayle has 98 sixes in his name.
