Rahul Dravid's Epic Response to the Secret Behind India's Six-Hitting Spree in Tests
The five-match test series between the India and England cricket teams was entertaining in all aspects. While the five-match contest offered some gritty knocks and promising spells, it also saw a world record being registered in terms of sixes. Both teams together hit a total of 102 sixes, which is the most in any test series. Rohit Sharma and Co. hit 72 of them, while guests England smashed the remaining 30. Out of the ones India hit, Yashasvi Jaiswal individually accounted for 29 sixes. He also went on to break Rohit’s world record of hitting most sixes in a Test series.
When asked to comment on India’s six-hit spree in the series, head coach Rahul Dravid came out with a funny reply.
After the game, Dravid said to the host, “I was just showing the team videos of me batting, man. So they are hitting sixes now.”
He further added, “But it is incredible to watch, and that is one facet of the game that is at a different level. We have got someone (Rohit Sharma) who is the greatest six-hitter India has ever produced. It is phenomenal—the six hitting powers, the skill, and the ability. Every time they hit the ball, it seems to go out. It’s amazing.”
