Yashasvi Jaiswal had a fine outing in the first test against Bangladesh, along with him hitting a half century in the first innings. Jaiswal has turned out to be one of the strongest support pillar of Indian batting across formats in past 2 years.

If Jaiswal hits 8 more sixes, he will become the first batsman in the world to have hit 50 sixes this year in Test cricket.

Player Sixes
Travis Head 44
Rahmanullah Gurbaz 43
Yashasvi Jaiswal 42
Rohit Sharma 38

Even though Travis head and Rahmanullah Gurbaz are playing for Australia and Afghanistan as of now, there will be a possibility of them reaching the mark before Jaiswal.

But if Jaiswal hits eight sixes in the second Test against Bangladesh, he will top the chart for the most sixes in a year in Tests. Jaiswal currently has 26 sixes in his name.
