Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019: 3 Indian records broken by Shreyas Iyer in one T20 innings

#2 Most individual sixes by an Indian in T20s.

Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer

In his 55-ball knock, 22 hits of Shreyas Iyer either found the fence or went over it. To be precise, there were a total of seven fours and 15 sixes in his brilliant century. This means that a humongous 118 runs by him came in boundaries alone.

The fifteen sixes struck by Iyer also gave another individual national record; most sixes by an Indian in a T20 innings. He broke another record that belonged to Rishabh Pant, who hit 12 maximums en-route the 116* that he made for Delhi against Himachal Pradesh in a domestic game last year.

The top-five most sixes by Indians in single T20 innings are as follows:

1. Shreyas Iyer (Mumbai) 15 v Sikkim, Today.

2. Rishabh Pant (Delhi) 12 v Himachal, 2018.

3. Murali Vijay (CSK) 11 v RR, 2010 - IPL.

4. SP Wakaskar (Railways) 11 v Delhi, 2016.
