Tim Southee, once half of the most feared new-ball partnership in the game, brought down the curtain on a glittering 16-year test career after New Zealand crushed England for a consolation win in Hamilton on Tuesday.
New Zealand veteran Tim Southee on Saturday equalled West Indies great Chris Gayle's tally of sixes in Test cricket to move to joint-fourth spot in the all-time list, with his 98th hit over the fence in Hamilton. Southee, playing his 107th and final Test for New Zealand, reached the milestone in the match against England at the Seddon Park. Southee hammered three sixes in his quick-fire 10-ball 23 which also included one four. England captain Ben Stokes leads the all-time list with 133 sixes in 110 Tests so far, followed by former New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum with 107 sixes in 101 matches.

Yashasvi Jaiswal looked like a man on a mission for India against Australia on Day 2 of the first Test. His defence was solid while he did shy away from taking his chances against the likes of Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and others. In between, he gave some cheeky replies to Australian bowlers too. At stumps on Day 2, Yashasvi Jaiswal was batting on 90 off 193 balls. His innings included seven fours and two sixes. With his two sixes Jaiswal now has 34 sixes in 2024 - the most maximums hit by any player in Test history.
