Afridi sets a new world record

Rajneesh Gupta | February 05, 2005

Pakistan's Shahid Afridi became the batsman with the most number of sixes in one-day internationals in the first final of VB Series against Australia on Friday.

The six that he hit off Shane Watson was 189th of his career which took him past Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya's tally of 188 sixes.

Interestingly, Afridi took 136 matches less than Jayasuriya to overhaul his record.
