Who Hit the Most Sixes in the T20 World Cup History?

The introduction of T20 cricket was primarily for entertainment purposes, and nothing defines this more than hitting sixes.

T20 cricket is known for its fast-paced nature, which often puts bowlers at a disadvantage as batters capitalize on the format to hit massive sixes.

The T20 World Cup is no exception, showcasing legends who have managed to hit monumental sixes during this significant ICC event.

On that note, let’s take a look at the players with the most sixes in T20 World Cup history:

1. Chris Gayle – 63 (West Indies)

The ‘Universe Boss,’ Chris Gayle, leads the charge with an impressive record in T20 World Cups. His explosive hitting saw him sending the ball out of the park a whopping 63 times in just 33 matches. Facing him used to be the deadliest nightmare for bowlers.

2. Rohit Sharma -35 (India)

The ‘Hitman,’ Rohit Sharma, is not far behind. With 35 sixes to his name, Rohit is a master of finding the gaps and clearing the ropes with elegance. He is one of the finest strikers of the ball, with the pull shot being his strongest weapon in his arsenal.

3. Jos Buttler -33 (England)

England’s destructive wicket-keeper batter, Jos Buttler, finds himself at number three with 33 sixes. Often coming to bat during the Powerplay, he knows how to put the pressure back on the bowlers by clearing the boundaries.

4. Yuvraj Singh – 33 (India)

A legend of Indian cricket, Yuvraj Singh‘s power hitting is etched in T20 World Cup history. Though retired, Yuvraj’s 33 sixes across T20 World Cups show the kind of power hitter he used to be. No one can forget his six sixes against Stuart Broad in the 2007 World Cup against England.  

5. Shane Watson – 31 (Australia)

The former Australian all-rounder, Shane Watson, was one of the most dangerous batters of his era. On any given day, he did not show mercy to any bowlers. He stands fifth in this list with 31 sixes in T20 World Cups.
