Most sixes in T20 – The shortest format has more or less become a batsmen’s game where bowlers are constantly in the situation to catch up with the batsmen. There is nothing more valuable in cricket for a batsman than clearing the ropes at will.
Let’s take a look at the batsmen with most sixes in T20
Player | T20 matches | Runs | Strike rate | Sixes |
Chris Gayle | 463 | 14562 | 144 | 1056 |
Kieron Pollard | 592 | 11571 | 151 | 773 |
Andre Russell | 412 | 6909 | 169 | 554 |
Brendom McCullum | 370 | 9922 | 136 | 485 |
Shane Watson | 343 | 8821 | 138 | 467 |
AB de Villiers | 340 | 9424 | 150 | 436 |
Rohit Sharma | 384 | 10163 | 133 | 435 |

Colin Munro | 327 | 8230 | 141 | 420 |
David Warner | 325 | 10740 | 141 | 404 |
The margin by which Chris Gayle is leading is astonishing and unbelievable to say the least. There is a reason why he is hailed as the Sir Don Bradman of T20 cricket. He has reached unbeatable heights with respect to T20 cricket. He has aced the format long before it became mainstream with respect to matchups. He is one batsman who had no weakness whatsoever when he was at his peak along with AB de Villiers and David Warner.
West Indians dominate the list of most sixes in T20
West Indies are pioneers of T20 cricket. They knew the value of a six and stuck to it rather than running singles and doubles which was the main focus of other international teams not so long ago. The top 3 in this list are legends of the game and all are from the country that has 2 T20 World cups to their name, West Indies. Though, Kieron Pollard has retired from international cricket, he will be playing the T20 franchise cricket all around the world where he can close the gap between him and the first placed Chris Gayle.
