5 batting records that Wasim Akram broke during his 257-run knock against Zimbabwe

#2 Most sixes in a single Test innings

If this was a trivia question, no one would get the answer right even after hundred attempts. In a world full of Sehwag, Hayden, Gayle, Jayasuriya and McCullum, the man who holds the record for most sixes in a Test innings is Wasim Akram.

On his way to 257 not out, Wasim Akram punished the Zimbabwean bowlers for as many as 12 sixes – a record in Test cricket. The ferocious hits often made the ball land amongst the white kurta clad Pakistani crowd and once the ball made its way out of the ground too.

Although there have been four batsmen so far, who have managed to hit 11 sixes in one innings, none has been able to go past the record tally. Nathan Astle, Matthew Hayden, Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes are those batsmen.
