Top 10 longest sixes in International Cricket

9. Shahid Afridi- Pakistan vs Australia, 2005 ODI- 117 m

There’s a reason that Shahid Afridi’s six-hitting abilities are held in such high regard by fans of cricket all across the board. And, this time for his second entry, Afridi is in with a 117 metre six that he hit against the Australian bowlers in 2005.

During that inning of Pakistan, Afridi hit many balls that flew over the boundary rope for a six but only one delivery was such that it travelled that long-distance and ended up bringing Afridi’s name in the record books for the second time.

All hell broke loose on the Australian bowlers when Afridi came on to bat in that match, as it seemed there was no force that could stop him from hitting boundaries for fun. In that match, the most memorable thing that came was this inning by Afridi and more importantly the six that shot him into every discussion in the cricketing circles for days to come.
