Abhishek Sharma breaks SKY's record for most sixes in a calendar year
The Indian opener hit his 69th six of 2026, going past former India captain Suryakumar Yadav's record of 68, which he set in 2022.
Abhishek Sharma has broken Sky's record for the most sixes in a calendar year by hitting his 69th six in India's fourth T20I against the West Indies. Sharma surpassed former India captain Suryakumar Yadav's previous record of 68 sixes, which he set in 2022. The Indian opener achieved this milestone against Shamar Springer in the ninth over, having initially struggled with the strike.
The West Indies bowlers initially kept Sharma's strike rate below 100 after the powerplay, but he broke free with a well-timed shot against Springer. Sharma's performance has been a mixed but productive year, with early high scores offset by several low scores and ducks in his first eight innings.
