 "SA vs IND: Most sixes hit in an innings by Team India in T20 cricket")
Team India batters ran riot in Johannesburg as they scored a total of 23 sixes in their innings during the 4th T20I against South Africa on November 15.
Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma left the Protea bowlers gasping for air in the middle as they fired the visitors to a mammoth total of 283/1 in their 20 overs. Their previous record for the most sixes hit in an innings in T20 cricket was 22 sixes against Bangladesh back in 2022.

While opener Abhishek Sharma scored 4 sixes before being sent back to the pavilion, Samson and Tilak went on to score 9 and 10 sixes respectively on the night to reach the feat.
