New Zealand captain and primarily a pacer, Tim Southee has created an epic record with his batting performance.
On the second day of their second Test against England, he broke a batting record held by former India captain MS Dhoni.
But on Day 3 the Kiwi skipper has not only crossed Dhoni, but also other veteran players like Kevin Pietersen, Misbah-ul-Haq, and Hayden for having more sixes.
The pacer now has 82 sixes by his name and can soon enter the Top 10 list of this incredible list.
