During the fourth T20I encounter against the West Indies on Wednesday, dynamic India opener Abhishek Sharma extended his sensational run in T20I cricket by setting a huge world record, blasting his 69th six of 2026 to eclipse former captain Suryakumar Yadav’s record of 68 sixes set back in 2022 and capture the record for hitting the most sixes in a calendar year in T20Is, a feat he can expand even further toward triple figures with six more T20I matches remaining for India this year, further underscoring the all-time list of most sixes in a calendar year for full-member nations which is headed by Abhishek Sharma with 69-plus sixes in 2026, followed closely by Suryakumar Yadav with 68 sixes in 2022, Abhishek’s 54 sixes in 2025, and Ishan Kishan’s 52 sixes in 2026.
