It was this batter, not Sehwag Afridi, who set the record with a six on the first delivery of the test.

On November 13, 2012, Chris Gayle made history by smashing a six on the opening ball of the Test match against Bangladesh. In this Mirpur match, Gayle accomplished this feat on Sohag Gazi’s ball. This is the first and only instance of this kind of thing happening in the 144-year history of Test cricket.. In the first over alone, Gayle scored eighteen runs. Gayle, who smashed 98 sixes in Test cricket, is among the top five players in the list.
