Most sixes in T20 World Cup

Cricket fever is incredibly high with the high-voltage ICC T20 World Cup 2022 being underway. The marquee tournament spans from October 16 to November 13 with matches taking place in Australia. As many as 16 teams are in pursuit of the gala tournament. While the top eight teams already found themselves in the Super 12 stage, the other eight were asked to battle it out in a preliminary round with four spots in the next stage up for grabs.

Seven editions of the  T20 World Cup took place before the 2022 event. Last year, hosts of this WC, Australia lifted their first-ever T20 World Cup in the United Arab Emirates. No team in the past has ever defended their title and the Aussies will look to change that this time around on their home soil.

 Meanwhile, six-hitting is an important aspect of T20 matches. In order to accumulate quick runs, batters don’t mind taking the aerial route. However, playing big shots also involves a significant amount of risk. If the connection isn’t proper, the fielder near the boundary ropes could accept an easy catch.

Nevertheless, many batters have embraced this challenge and cleared the ropes with ease. In fact, there have been occasion where batters have accumulated maximum runs through sixes in an innings.
