Abhishek Sharma Sets a New T20I Sixes Record with a Remarkable Feat

India’s young opener Abhishek Sharma has set a new record in T20 International cricket by hitting the most sixes in a calendar year among batters from full-member nations. During the fourth T20I against the West Indies in Hyderabad on October 14, 2026, Abhishek struck his 69th six of the year, surpassing Suryakumar Yadav’s previous record of 68 sixes, set in 2022.

Since making his international T20 debut, Abhishek has earned recognition for his aggressive batting style and ability to attack bowlers. His fearless approach, particularly during the powerplay, has made him an important part of India’s batting line-up. With his latest achievement, the left-handed opener has further strengthened his reputation as one of the format’s most attacking batters.
