The oldest format of cricket, Test cricket, is known for testing the agility and mental strength of the players. Most players who looked aggressive in limited overs format adapt to the 5-day test playing conditions accordingly and change their game. Still, a few of them are known for their natural talent and aggressive play, no matter which format they are in. Here is the list of the top five Indian batters who, with their batting skills, have hit the most sixes in their International test career while playing for India.

Virender Sehwag
Former India’s right-handed batter Virender Sehwag was one of the most fearless batters of his era. He was known for taking on the opposition from the first ball of the innings, as he didn’t hesitate to deposit the ball in the stands or smash it for a boundary. He tops the list of the most sixes by an Indian batter in test cricket, as during his international test cricket, he hit 91 sixes and scored 8586 runs.
Rohit Sharma
As of 2024, Rohit Sharma is captaining the Indian team in Test and ODI cricket and is so close to surpassing Virender Sehwag’s record of most sixes by an Indian batter in test cricket. He currently has 84 sixes and needs 8 more to stand at the top of this list.
MS Dhoni
Former India captain MS Dhoni was a calm-minded cricketer on the field and equally lethal when it came to batting or saving his team from trouble. His six-hitting capabilities were one of his strengths, which is why he landed third in this list of most sixes. MS Dhoni hit 78 sixes in the 90 test matches he played for India.
