Gautam Gambhir, the current head coach of the Indian cricket team, is known for his impeccable style. In his days, he was called a player of big matches. The innings of 75 runs in the final of the 2007 T20 World Cup and 97 runs in the final of the 2011 ODI World Cup helped India to register a historic victory. Now a figure has come out, which is enough to surprise the cricket world. Actually, the topic of discussion here is the number of sixes put in international cricket by Gautam Gambhir.

Gautam Gambhir played 242 matches for India in an international career of about 13 years, in which he was able to hit only 37 sixes. He sent 10 in Tests, 17 in ODIs and 10 times in T20 cricket to the ball across the boundary. He used to play cricket of serious aggressive style, but he was never known for hitting power, which is why he was able to hit only 37 sixes in 242 international matches, but the number of fours he has imposed is 1,188.

Less sixes than Muralitharan

It is true that Gautam Gambhir has hit less sixes than Muttiah Muralitharan in international cricket, who was a bowler by profession. Great spin bowler Muralitharan batting in most of his career in 9, 10 and 11th order. Despite being a bowler, this Sri Lankan veteran hit 41 sixes in his international career. This figure of Muralitharan is also special because he is not an all -rounder but a completely bowler.

Let us tell you that Gautam Gambhir is currently targeted by critics. While his head coach, India’s white ball teams have performed well, but they have not been able to leave much impact on Test cricket. Rahul Dravid’s under India remained the world’s number-1 Test team for a long time, but it cannot be denied that the victory in Gambhir’s under one Test match seems to be like a big achievement.
