Tim Southee equals MS Dhoni’s tally of 78 sixes in Test cricket

New Zealand Test skipper Tim Southee has achieved a massive feat in the longest format of the game. He equalled MS Dhoni’s tally of 78 sixes in Test cricket. The fast bowler achieved the milestone in the ongoing second Test against England.

New Zealand struggled to get going in their first innings and was reduced to 103/7 in response to England’s 435 in the first innings. Skipper Southee then came out all guns blazing and went the aerial route.

He scored unbeaten 23 runs in 18 balls with the help of 2 sixes and 1 four in his innings. Southee batted extremely well on Day 2 before the umpires called stumps. With the way he’s batting, he will likely hit a few more sixes on Day 3 and help his team to get close to England’s total.

Tim Southee currently has 78 sixes and is currently 14th on the list of the most maximums in the longest format of the game. With the way he’s going in the Tests, he can easily enter the top-5.
