#1 Virender Sehwag – 91 sixes
If there was one batsman bowlers feared bowling at the start of the innings, it was Virender Sehwag. The Delhi opener’s ability to put the pressure on the bowlers right from the word go was exceptional. Brett Lee once said, “No matter how good and experienced you are, he (Sehwag) can kill you attitude.”
Sehwag was one of the most attacking and entertaining players of his time. In fact, in one of the T20Is in New Zealand in 2009, he hit the first three balls of the match for 3 big sixes. Even in Test cricket, Sehwag was fearless. He was never afraid to take the aerial route both against pacers and spinners.
Also, he reached his first triple century with a six and he missed out on a double ton at the MCG going for a six. Thus, that shows that he is unfazed by the occasion. He has hit 91 sixes in Test cricket (fifth most). He has hit almost 64% of his Test runs in boundaries (5478 out of 8586). And it is no surprise that he tops the list of most sixes by an Indian batsman in Test cricket.
