Chris Gayle only batsman to hit a six off a Test's 1st ball
Windies' Chris Gayle is the only cricketer to hit the first ball of a Test match for a maximum. Gayle, who turned 39 on Friday, achieved the feat by smashing Bangladesh debutant spinner Sohag Gazi for a six on the first ball of 2012's Mirpur Test, the 2,051st Test in history. Gayle has hit 476 sixes, joint-most in international cricket.
