India Achieves 100 Sixes Milestone Despite Collapse

India made history by becoming the first team to hit 100 sixes in a calendar year during their Test match against New Zealand in Bengaluru, surpassing England's previous record of 89 sixes in 2022. Despite an initial historic collapse to 46 runs, India showed resilience on Day 3 by reaching 231-3 in their second innings, with contributions from Sarfaraz Khan and Virat Kohli, who reached 9,000 Test runs. Rohit Sharma added a brisk 52 before his unusual dismissal, leaving India trailing by 125 runs at day's end. New Zealand had earlier secured a massive 356-run lead, bolstered by a century from Rachin Ravindra and a strong partnership with Tim Southee. Despite the challenging position, experts like Sanjay Manjrekar remain hopeful about India's ability to stage a comeback, drawing parallels to past recoveries.
