There have been many such activities in cricket which are remembered again and again. In cricket, test match is the only format in which the player starts slow to play a long innings on the field. Despite this, today we will tell you about a batsman who had hit a six on the very first ball of the first over in the test match. This is only the first time in the history of cricket when a player has already hit a six on first ball.

The player we are talking about is the West Indies batsman Chris Gayle. Gayle had hit a six Test debutante Sohaj Ghazi during a Test match against Bangladesh in 2012. The special thing is that this was the first ball of his Test career on which he hit a six.
