Four Indian batsmen with most sixes in International cricket before turning 24
The general trend in recent times in international cricket seems to be of giving an opportunity to young players. One of the biggest reasons for this is their excellent performance in T20 cricket. Something similar has been happening with the Indian team, in which now many players under the age of 25 are seen playing in the T20I format. In this article, we are going to look at four Indian players who have hit the most international sixes before the age of 24.

Apart from his swing bowling, Irfan Pathan also impressed a lot with his batting. Irfan, who once played the role of an important bowler in all three formats for the Indian team, hit a total of 62 sixes during his career. In this, Irfan had hit 53 sixes before the age of 24.
