Debut at the age of 20, hit a six on the very first ball in the test, the record has not been broken till date…

Cricketer who Hits six in 1st Ball of Test Match: There are many such records in the history of cricket, which no player has been able to break even after years. One such unique record is recorded in the name of legendary West Indies batsman Chris Gayle. On 13 November 2012, in the Test match played in Mirpur, Bangladesh, Gayle created history by hitting a six on the very first ball of the match. He is the first and so far the only batsman to do so in the 136-year history of Test cricket.

Chris Gayle started his international career at the age of just 20 and later made his mark among the most explosive batsmen in the world. In the Mirpur Test, he hit a brilliant six over long-on on the first ball of Bangladesh’s debutant bowler Sohag Ghazi. With this, the record of hitting a six on the first ball in Test cricket was recorded in his name forever. Till date no batsman has been able to do this.

The interesting thing was that Sohag Ghazi, who proved expensive in the beginning, made a brilliant comeback and also got the wicket of Chris Gayle. Ghazi took three wickets in his debut Test innings, but Gayle’s record will be recorded forever in the pages of history. West Indies declared the innings by making a big score of 527/4 in the first innings.

Thousands of matches have been played since Test cricket started in 1877, but no batsman has been able to repeat the record of hitting a six on the first ball of a Test match. Chris Gayle hit 98 sixes in Test cricket in his career and he is counted among the most dangerous aggressive batsmen in this format. This unique record of his is unbreakable even today and breaking it in the coming years will be considered a big challenge for any batsman.
