Yashasvi Jaiswal had a fine outing in the first test against Bangladesh, along with him hitting a half century in the first innings. Jaiswal has turned out to be one of the strongest support pillar of Indian batting across formats in past 2 years.
If Jaiswal hits 8 more sixes, he will become the first batsman in the world to have hit 50 sixes this year in Test cricket.
Most sixes in Test cricket in 2024
| Player | Sixes |
| Travis Head | 44 |
| Rahmanullah Gurbaz | 43 |
| Yashasvi Jaiswal | 42 |
| Rohit Sharma | 38 |
Even though Travis head and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are playing for Australia and Afghanistan as of now, there will be a possibility of them reaching the mark before Jaiswal.
But if Jaiswal hits eight sixes in the second Test against Bangladesh, he will top the chart for the most sixes in a year in Tests. Jaiswal currently has 26 sixes in his name.
