Top 5 Indian batsmen with most Test sixes

#4 Kapil Dev – 61 sixes

Kapil Dev was the best at almost everything he did. He could bat and pull the team out of trouble, he could produce, match-changing spells and he could also take some exceptional catches in the field. He was arguably the best allrounder to have represented India in both formats (Tests and ODIs).

Kapil Dev never missed a single Test match in his entire career due to injury. In fact, he was dropped only once in his playing career and he played 66 and 65 consecutive Tests on either side of getting dropped. India’s first World Cup-winning captain also had the unique ability to hit sixes at will. He struck 61 sixes in his 131-match Test career.

In fact, in one of the Test matches in 1990 against England at Lord’s, with 24 runs to avoid follow-on and No. 11 Narendra Hirwani in company, he struck

four sixes off four consecutive deliveries to help India avoid the follow-on.

Almost 57% of Dev’s runs came off boundaries. He scored 5248 runs in 113 Tests and also took 434 wickets and thus, will go down as one of the best all-rounders the world has ever seen.
