India and England set a new record for most sixes in a three-match ODI series on Sunday. The record was broken in the third ODI at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. In the third ODI, the Indian batsmen cleaned up the fans 11 times in their innings, as the hosts were dismissed for 329 runs.
Rishabh Pant, who scored the most 78 runs for India, hit four sixes during his 62-ball knock, while Hardik Pandya also bowled cleanly four times as he blocked his half-century. The remaining sixes came off the bat of Shardul Thakur, who scored 30 runs off 21 balls.
