Most sixes in Test cricket history

0 0 4 minutes read

Ben Stokes tops the chart for most sixes in Test cricket with 133 to his name. The English all-rounder is known for his aggressive batting style and his ability to get the better of the opposition. His fearless approach has made him one of the most influential players in modern Test cricket.

Just behind him is New Zealand’s Brendon McCullum with 107 sixes. McCullum has played a key role in changing the way Test cricket is approached, bringing an attacking mindset to the format. One of his most memorable innings was the 302 he scored against India, where his ability to hit six hits was on full display.

Australian Adam Gilchrist completes the top three with 100 sixes. Gilchrist redefined the role of a wicketkeeper with his aggressive style. Coming in the lower middle order, he often changed the course of a match in a single session.
