টি -টোয়েন্টি ক্রিকেটে সবচেয়ে বেশি ছক্কা রয়েছে
In the fast-paced, energetic world of Twenty20 cricket (T20), players are often judged by their batting prowess. Not just their skill at running between the wickets, but more so their ability to hit sixes – the maximum score possible from a single shot in cricket – is highly valued. Of course, this ability isn’t solely dictated by raw power; timing and technique play significant roles also. However, it certainly adds an explosive element to their game that captivates audiences worldwide. In this respect, let’s explore who has racked up the most number of sixes in T20 cricket.
The Pinnacle of Power-Hitting: Chris Gayle
And without adieu, standing out as the undisputed king pin is Jamaican sensation, Christopher Henry ‘Chris’ Gayle! Playing for the West Indies on an international stage as well as multiple franchises around the globe like Kolkata Knight Riders and Royal Challengers Bangalore in Indian Premier League (IPL), Gayle has amassed a record-shattering total of over 1000 sixes across his illustrious T20 career.
An Unrivalled Record
To put that into perspective, he boasts almost twice as many sixes as any other player in existence. It also means that about 25% of his total runs have come purely from sixes alone! To add to this monumental feat, he was also the first cricketer ever to reach a double century in a One Day International format and holds numerous other records such as fastest century in professional cricket – only 30 balls against Pune Warriors India during IPL 2013.
Brendon McCullum: Second-best Six Hitter
On the second spot stands Brendon Barrie ‘Baz’ McCullum hailing from New Zealand. Renowned for introducing aggressive batting style to Test Cricket, Baz holds the record for most sixes in international cricket across all formats combined. Nevertheless, his T20 specific tally is second only to the mammoth Gayle.

Noteworthy Numbers
McCullum retired in 2015 after an impressive career but left a mark that will not fade quickly. He managed to hit over 400 sixes in all forms of T20 matches during his professional era. Using his famous ‘scoop shot’ he ensured New Zealand found stability and strength at the top order.
The Building Legacy: Rohit Sharma
Rising through the ranks, on third place stands India’s ‘Hitman’, Rohit Sharma. Sharma is known for his elegant strokeplay and timing paired with powerful hitting. With nearly 400 International Sixes and rapidly growing, Rohit continues to climb towards the summit.
Promising Prospect
Rohit popularised the pull-shot among modern day cricketers and gained mass appreciation for his double centuries in One Day Internationals (ODIs). His penetration into delivery lines while preserving absolute clarity makes him stand out as one of the best contemporary batsmen.
Unique Styles, Same Results
Hitting a cricket ball outside of the ground requires precision, power, reflex, and a touch of audacity – Winning attributes these players possess which enthrall fans around the globe. Whether it’s Chris Gayle storming down the pitch with overpowering force, or Brendon McCullum shuffling around deftly manipulating angles, or Rohit Sharma combining both world’s elegance with power – their success lies not just in numbers but how they’ve influenced millions aspiring to be like them someday!
