Most Test sixes in a year, ft. Yashasvi Jaiswal

Earlier, Brendon McCullum held the record after smashing 33 sixes back in 2014.

Team India opening batter Yashasvi Jaiswal broke Brendon McCullum’s record for the most Test sixes hit by a single player in a calendar year as he batted India ahead of the game in the first Border-Gavaskar Trophy Test in Perth.

Yashasvi Jaiswal is playing his 12th Test of 2024 in Perth and is near the end of a stellar year in Test cricket. Having made his debut in 2023, he’s so far scored two Test centuries in 2024, both of them doubles, coming against England in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot. He’s also made eight half-centuries and averages 57.47 with a rapid strike rate of 73.10. On that note, let us check out batters with most Test sixes in a year.

Most sixes in Test cricket

As stated above, Yashasvi Jaiswal currently holds the record of smashing most sixes in Test cricket. The left-handed batter has hit 35 Test sixes in 2024, so far. With four matches still left in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, Jaiswal has the chance to improve his numbers and try to stretch past the 50-sixes mark in the Test cricket. It remains to be seen how Jaiswal plays in the remaining matches of the BGT.
