Abhishek Sharma hit his seventh first-ball six in T20Is during India's chase against New Zealand at Hagley Oval on Thursday, breaking Shafiqullah Shinwari's record of six. He launched Matt Henry's sixth delivery of the opening over over cover.

Sharma scored 29 off 12 balls before departing, helping India reach 93 for 1 in the powerplay alongside Sanju Samson. India eventually won by four wickets.

Suryakumar Yadav sits third on the list with five first-ball sixes.

CricHubb Take

The record underlines how consistently Abhishek forces bowlers to start with width or length, turning the first ball into a high-percentage scoring opportunity.
