Sanath Jayasuriya holds the record for most sixes in international cricket with 279. He holds the record for the most sixes in one dayers with 222, having just taken the record as his own in his last match after being tied with Shahid Afridi. Afridi has 217, which is a good effort considering it is from around 100 less matches than Jayasuriya. Jayasuriya also has 57 sixes in tests, which is actually quite short of the record.

Adam Gilchrist holds the record for the most number of 6's in test cricket with 97, and will most likely become the first player to have hit 100 sixes in tests. Brian Lara is 2nd with 88, and would be the only one who might beat him to that.

Sixes

On August 31, 1968, Gary Sobers became the first man to hit six sixes off a single six-ball over in first-class cricket. The over was bowled by Malcolm Nash in Nottinghamshire's first innings against Glamorgan in Swansea. Nash was a seam bowler but—somewhat rashly, as it turned out—decided to try his arm at spin bowling. This achievement was caught on film. The feat has been repeated only once, by Ravi Shastri in 1984, playing for Bombay against Baroda, in Bombay.

In May 2004, New Zealand player Chris Cairns broke the record for the number of sixes recorded by an individual player in Test matches. Playing for the Black Caps in the first Test in the 2004 series against England at Lord's in London, Cairns took the new record total to 86 sixes before retiring from Test cricket. Adam Gilchrist subsequently broke this record and has 93 Test sixes as of 12th August 2006.

The One-day International record for most sixes hit in an innings is held by Sanath Jayasuriya who hit 11 sixes against Pakistan in Singapore in April 1996. This 11 sixes record was equaled later that same year by Shahid Afridi against Sri Lanka in his first ODI innings in which he also broke the record for the fastest ODI century.

The record for most sixes in a Test Match innings is 12, which was achieved by Pakistani all-rounder Wasim Akram during a powerful 257 against Zimbabwe.

The One-day International record for most sixes hit in a career is held by the big-hitting Shahid Afridi of Pakistan, who has crashed 217 sixes as of 27 Dec 2006. Afridi actually hit the second ball he ever faced in ODI cricket for a six.

The record for the most sixes in a Test Match is 27. This remarkable event occurred during a Test Match between Pakistan and India in 2006 at the famously bowler-hostile Iqbal Stadium in Faisalabad. In their first innings, Pakistan hit eleven sixes. India hit nine in their first innings. Pakistan's second innings saw seven more sixes in an all-too obvious pattern.
