Cricket is now-a-days popular as batsman’s game and rightly so because batsmen now hit sixes at their will, moreover to this reality an advent of T20 cricket has certainly changed the mindset and players like Chris Gayle, Brendon McCullum, AB de Villiers etc. are the prime example of that and we have seen many times from them. The art of hitting the ball out of the park for six runs is something every batsman looks to master. But these three players and some others have hit more than 50 sixes in both in Tests and ODIs and showed that if you have the right power and timing balance you can hit sixes at your will.
Recently, Brendon McCullum completed 200 sixes in his last ODI innings therefore he became the fourth player in the history of ODI cricket who have hit more than 200 sixes in ODIs. Even if you are cricket fanatic you know about players with most sixes in ODIs and Tests but you may not know about batsmen who have hit more than 50 sixes in Tests and in ODIs, too.
