T20 World Cup Players with the Most Sixes

Players With the Most Sixes in a T20 World Cup

Six-hitting is indeed a vital aspect of T20 cricket. With an inning comprising just 120 deliveries, batters have the onus to score maximum runs in the allotted time. As batters can accumulate a maximum off a legitimate delivery, it’s pretty necessary for players to understand the art of big-hitting to thrive in this format of the game.

While T20 cricket is known to be dominated by batters, clearing the ropes isn’t a bread and butter task. A batter needs to put a certain amount of energy and timing behind a shot to send it over the ropes. Also, taking the aerial route is always risky as a miss-hit would see the ball going into the fielder’s hands instead of stands. And all it requires is just one delivery to dismiss a batter.

Hence, earning six runs from one ball takes some beating. Nevertheless, there have been several batters who have embraced this challenge with brilliance. Dashers like Chris Gayle and Yuvraj Singh have taken many prominent bowlers to cleaners during the course of their astonishing knocks. Exhibition of big-hitting has also been witnessed in T20 World Cups.

With prominent players from different featuring in the gala tournament, T20 cricket has been witnessed of the highest quality. This year’s T20 World Cup is taking place in UAE and Oman as fans can’t keep calm. Dashers are also plying their trade in the competition.

Hence, bowlers can’t afford to miss their mark by an inch. While T20 World Cup 2021 being the seventh edition of the global event, some amazing big-hitting has been witnessed in the previous seasons.
