Rohit Sharma on Friday became the leading six-hitter in T20 Internationals as he surpassed New Zealand’s Martin Guptill to claim the top spot during India’s second match against Australia in Nagpur.
The Indian captain has been the most prolific six-hitter among all Indian batters in the T20 format with over 450 sixes to his name. West Indies legend Chris Gayle, however, leads the all-time list in Twenty20 cricket with 1056 maximums to his name.
Gayle is the only batter to smash over 1000 sixes in cricket’s shortest format. He also 124 sixes in T20Is from just 79 matches and ranks third behind Rohit and Gayle. Here is a look at the greatest six-hitters in the T20I format (as of September 24, 2022):
