5 Indian Players With Most Sixes In Test: During India’s first innings in the ongoing Test match against England at Lord’s, there was doubt over Rishabh Pant’s batting, as he suffered an injury to his left hand finger while wicketkeeping. However, this player showed courage and came at his regular batting position number 5. Pant supported KL Rahul till stumps on the first day and on the second day also it seemed that both would get through the first session comfortably but then Rishabh was run out.

Most Sixes: However, before getting run out, Pant played a brilliant half-century innings of 74 runs in 112 balls. During this, he hit seven fours and two sixes. With the help of these two sixes, Pant has reached the level of Rohit Sharma in terms of hitting the most sixes in Tests for India. In view of this, we are going to tell you about those 5 players who have hit the most sixes for India in Tests.
5 Ravindra Jadeja
Most Sixes: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja has performed tremendously with the bat in the last few years and his role has been very important especially in the matches played outside the home. Jaddu has also hit a lot of sixes during this period. So far, Jadeja has hit 72* sixes in 123 innings of 83 matches for Team India. He is currently playing in the Lord’s Test, so the number of his sixes may increase.
4 MS Dhoni
Former Team India captain MS Dhoni is at fourth place in this list. Dhoni was known for hitting big hits from the beginning of his career. He said goodbye to the Test format in 2014 itself. Dhoni’s Test career lasted 90 matches and during this time 78 sixes were seen from his bat.
3 Rohit Sharma
Rohit Sharma, who retired from Test cricket in May this year, did not have a very long career in red ball cricket for Team India, but he played many explosive innings as an opener in just a few years. Rohit is also famous for hitting big shots and he did so in Tests as well. Rohit played 67 matches in his career and hit 88 sixes.
2 Rishabh Pant
After MS Dhoni, Rishabh Pant emerged as a tremendous player for India in Tests, who is one of the biggest match winners not only in wicketkeeping but also in batting. Pant has proved in his short career that it is not easy to stop him in Tests. He has played 46 Tests so far and has hit 88 sixes in just 80 innings. Soon he will have a chance to get the top spot.
