Virender Sehwag tried to play out for the draw in Ahmedabad in the only way he knows how - slamming two sixes in the opening over of India's second innings - to move into third place in the Sky Sports International Sixes League.

However, he fell soon afterwards and so was unable to make any further ground on the two leaders.

Other than that, it was a quiet week six-wise despite AB de Villiers managing to hit the ball onto the roof at the Sardar Patel Stadium in his maiden Test double-century.

All that could change this week, as Shahid Afridi is back in action in Pakistan's One-day series with Bangladesh.

Following their victory in the second Test at Port-of-Spain, the West Indians will be confident as they start their one-day series with Sri Lanka, with 2006 winner Chris Gayle looking to make an impression on this year's competition.

The Sky Sports International Sixes League ranks the top ten batsmen that have hit the most sixes from Tests, One-Day Internationals and International Twenty20 games.
