Fastest To Achieve 300 Sixes In T20s Amongst Indians: The Indian cricket arena witnessed a historic incident on December 14 as Abhishek Sharma, the current World Number 1 T20I Batter, made a record entry into cricket history books as he became the fastest Indian to achieve a total of 300 sixes in the T20 format. The destructive left-handed batsman attained this achievement in the third T20 between India and South Africa.
Historic Feat in Record Time
Abhishek Sharma achieved the achievement of hitting his 300th six in only 163 T20 matches, and he became the joint-fastest Indian to achieve this milestone. He achieved the record-breaking six in the fifth over of India’s chase while hitting Ottneil Baartman over the boundary with the ball.

Abhishek Sharma got the run chase underway in typical fashion, dispatching Lungi Ngidi over extra cover for six on the first ball of it. He followed this up with another six from Marco Jansen in the second over before achieving the magical 300-six mark soon after. His aggressive style of play and clean strokes have made him a nightmare for the bowlers.
