Cricket Records Set on 6 November

The standout individual score on this date is Rohit Sharma's 177 off 301 balls for India against West Indies in the 2013 Test, a patient effort built on 23 fours and a six. Keaton Jennings' 146 off 280 for England against Sri Lanka in 2018 offers a similar Test-match grind. The one-day game leans faster: Brendon McCullum's 131 off 129 for New Zealand against Pakistan in 2009, Keacy Carty's 128 off 114 for West Indies against England in 2024, and Quinton de Kock's 123 off 119, including seven sixes, for South Africa against Pakistan in 2025. Rohit Sharma also appears in T20Is, striking 111 off just 61 balls against West Indies in 2018.

Bowling figures on 6 November range widely. Rangana Herath took 8/63 in 23 overs for Sri Lanka against Zimbabwe in 2016, the tightest of the big hauls, while Jason Krejza's 8/215 from 43.50 overs for Australia against India in 2008 shows how a wicket tally can come at heavy cost. The 2013 India v West Indies Test produced further returns in the same series: Ravichandran Ashwin's 6/47, Pragyan Ojha's 6/72 and Mohammed Shami's 5/47, alongside Shane Shillingford's 6/167. In white-ball cricket, AM Ghazanfar's 6/26 for Afghanistan against Bangladesh in 2024 and Lance Klusener's 6/49 for South Africa against Sri Lanka in 1997 stand out for economy.

T20 leagues add their own flavour. Ellyse Perry's 86 off 62 for SS-W against HH-W in WBBL 2024/25 is the highest score among the league entries. The 2017 BPL meeting between Khulna Tigers and Dhaka Platoon was rich in boundary hitting, with E Lewis making 66 off 40, CS Delport 64 off 31, JC Archer 36 off 24 and CAK Walton 30 off 13, all inside a 202/7 total. In the IPL 2020 clash between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore, AB de Villiers scored 56 off 43, KS Williamson 50 off 44 and AJ Finch 32 off 30.
