Chris Gayle’s 63 sixes look unbeatable. He’s the only one averaging more than two big hits per innings. Rohit Sharma sits second with 50, but both he and Gayle (plus David Warner) have retired from T20Is after 2024.
Jos Buttler is still going strong and could climb higher in this 2026 edition. Afghanistan’s young gun Rahmanullah Gurbaz has zoomed into the top 10 super fast – just 16 matches for 28 sixes!
Fun fact: Yuvraj Singh still holds the craziest record – 6 sixes in one over against Stuart Broad back in 2007.
Who do you think will add the most sixes this World Cup? Buttler? Gurbaz? Or someone new? Let me know below!
