Ever since the introduction of limited overs cricket, batsmen hit a lot of fours and sixes. But do you know that the record of hitting the longest sixes in international cricket was made in the 19th century, which remains intact to date? No batsman has been able to break this record to date and probably will not be able to break it in the future also.
Albert Trott
Albert Trott hit a 164-meter-long six in a match played at Lord's Cricket Ground in the 19th century. It was the longest six in cricket history. But let us tell you that in 1910, at the age of 41, he committed suicide by shooting himself.
