If a quiz “Who holds the Indian record for most boundary sixes in his test career” is asked, most cricket lovers will credit the record to SR Tendulkar, which is very obvious considering the fact that he holds many records. But SR Tendulkar does not hold this record. It is credited to V Sehwag who has scored 90 boundary sixes. SR Tendulkar has scored 69 boundary sixes and occupies the third place in the list of Indian batsmen who have scored most sixes in their test career. MS Dhoni occupies the second place with 78 boundary sixes. The following table lists the seven Indian batsmen who have scored 50 plus boundary sixes in their test career.
