This was the moment when Suryakumar Yadav scripts history in the 10th over of India’s innings in Perth. In terms of an at-bat against Nathan Ellis, the right-hander lofted the ball over desperate boundary ropes to complete with 150th six in T20Is, along with India’s white-ball giant Rohit Sharma.

Rohit currently leads the all-time Indian list with 205 sixes, while Suryakumar now sits comfortably behind an impressive feat, considering the Mumbai-born cricketer only made his T20I debut in 2021.
