Glenn Maxwell set a new record in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup with his unbeaten cameo of 31 runs off just 21 balls against Sri Lanka on Monday, en route to Australia's first win in the global tournament.
Maxwell's explosive batting performance included a couple of sixes and four boundaries. With this remarkable display, he has now accumulated a total of 51 sixes in India in international cricket across all formats, setting a new world record.
He surpassed former West Indies' pinch-hitter Kieron Pollard's record by two sixes, while South African cricket legend AB de Villiers shares the third place on this list, jointly with former Afghanistan cricketer Asghar Afghan, having hit 48 sixes in India.
