India and England are currently level in their five-Test series at 1-1. India appears to be winning the third game of the series in Rajkot. India has set a lofty 557-run target for England, but as of tea time, the English side has only scored 34 runs while losing four wickets. India now appears to be guaranteed to win. India's second innings saw an abundance of sixes before England's innings, and Team India made history by shattering two world records for the most sixes. One test series record and one world record match have been broken by Team India.

The Indian team broke the world record for hitting the most sixes in a test series. While there are still two matches left. Team India players have hit a total of 48 sixes so far in this series. Earlier Team India held the record when they scored 47 sixes in the three-Test series against South Africa in 2021. England, which is ranked third in this regard, hit 43 sixes against Australia during the five-match Ashes series last year.

In addition to winning the series, Team India also shattered the record for most sixes scored in a Test match globally. In 2019, while playing South Africa in Visakhapatnam, Team India also set a record for the most sixes in a Test match when they hit 27 of them. In contrast, Indian batsmen have hit 28 sixes against England in the Rajkot Test. The third place in this regard goes to New Zealand. In 2014, in Sharjah, the Kiwis had hit 22 sixes against Pakistan.
