Big Bash League: Brisbane Heat batter Josh Brown on Monday etched his name in the record books by smashing the most sixes in a Big Bash League (BBL) inning, during his 140-run knock against Adelaide Strikers at the Heritage Bank Stadium.

With 12 sixes to his name, Brown surpassed the previous record jointly held by Chris Gayle, Craig Simmons, and Chris Lynn, each with 11 sixes. Among them, Lynn had achieved this feat twice in an inning.

Brown's extraordinary innings saw him amass a jaw-dropping 140 runs off just 57 balls, featuring an onslaught of 10 fours and an incredible 12 sixes. The right-handed batsman's maiden century was punctuated by his nine hits over the ropes, propelling Brisbane Heat to a formidable total of 214 for 7 in this crucial do-or-die clash.
