Puran became the sixer king
West Indies star batsman Nicholas Pooran has created such a great record that it seems difficult to break. Playing for Trinbago Knight Riders, Nicholas played a brilliant innings of 93 runs in 43 balls against the team of St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots. During this innings, he hit 6 fours and 7 sixes. Nicholas Pooran has completed his 150 sixes in T20 cricket in the year 2024 by hitting 7 sixes in the match. He has become the first batsman to hit 150 sixes in a calendar year of T20 cricket. No one was able to do this before him. Chris Gayle hit 135 sixes in T20 cricket in the year 2015. Now Pooran has broken Gayle’s record after 9 years and has become the new Sixer King.
Ravindra Jadeja equals Travis Head
Ravindra Jadeja, one of the star players of India, has reached the level of Australia’s Travis Head. Ravindra Jadeja has hit 26 sixes in 47 innings of 32 matches so far in the ICC World Test Championship, while if we talk about Travis Head, he has hit the same number of sixes in 67 innings of 41 matches. New Zealand’s Daryl Mitchell also has the same number of sixes, but he has hit this many sixes in 33 innings of 20 matches only. That is, if Ravindra Jadeja hits one more six, he will overtake both of them. Ravindra Jadeja has played fewer matches than Travis Head and his innings are also less. In such a situation, his achievement becomes even more special.

The batsman who has scored the most runs in this cycle of the World Test Championship is England’s Joe Root (1398). Jaiswal (1094) is at number two.
