Now in Test cricket, it is not just defense, it is all about powerful sixes! Know the five batsmen who created history by hitting the most sixes in Test cricket.

Batsman Who Hit Most Sixes in Test Cricket: Test cricket has always been considered a game of patience and technique, but with time aggression has also entered this format. The effect of limited overs cricket is now visible in Tests as well, where batsmen do not hesitate to hit sixes freely. This is the reason why such players are emerging who are known for hitting long shots even in Tests.

Let's take a look at the five batsmen who have hit the most sixes in Test cricket history

Ben Stokes - 133 sixes

England's current Test captain Ben Stokes has set a new example of aggressive cricket. He has so far scored 6781 runs in 201 innings of 112 Tests, which includes 133 amazing sixes. With this figure, Stokes has now become the batsman who has hit the most sixes in Test history. His average is 35.31 and he has also hit 786 fours in Tests. Stokes's batting style has become an important part of England's "Badball" thinking.

Brendon McCullum - 107 sixes

Former New Zealand captain and currently England's head coach Brendon McCullum has laid the foundation of aggression in Test cricket. He scored 6453 runs in 101 Test matches and hit 107 sixes. His batting average was 38.64 and he also hit 776 fours. Called the father of 'Bazzball' style, McCullum's aggressive approach has changed the old thinking of Test cricket.

Adam Gilchrist - 100 Sixes

In third place is former Australian wicketkeeper batsman Adam Gilchrist, who not only troubled the opposition teams with his gloves but also with his bat. He has scored 5570 runs in 137 innings of 96 test matches. He has 100 sixes to his name. His average is 47.60 and the number of fours is 677.

Tim Southee - 98 sixes

This may be a bit of a surprising name but New Zealand fast bowler Tim Southee is also dangerous with the bat. He has scored 2245 runs in 107 Tests and has hit 98 sixes. His average may be 15.48 but he is unmatched in scoring runs quickly in the lower order.

Chris Gayle - 98 sixes

'Universe Boss' Chris Gayle has been the king of sixes not only in limited overs cricket but also in Tests. He has scored 7214 runs in 182 innings of 103 Tests and has hit 98 sixes. His average is 42.18 and he has also hit 1046 fours. Gayle's style has been as dangerous in Test cricket as it is in T20.
