Afridi secures record for most ODI sixes

KARACHI, FEB. 5. Pakistan's Shahid Afridi set another one-day international record when he hit the 190th six of his career during his 26-run cameo against Australia in the first of the VB Series best-of-three finals — his 189th innings at that level.

Afridi, 24, overtook Sri Lankan Sanath Jayasuriya's record, achieved over 325 ODI innings. Afridi, however, achieved the landmark in 136 fewer innings.
