Most Sixes in ODI Matches :
There has always been a contest to see who can hit the most sixes in ODI games and who has the ability to hit sixes, but in recent years, Rohit Sharma’s batting has been outstanding. However, Chris Gayle and Shahid Afridi have both demonstrated the ability to elevate the ball to the ground and have more sixes than Rohit Sharma. We have seen players with good time who consistently work on their timing for fours and sixes, but these days’ batsmen are more concerned with bat swings and muscular power due to how quickly each team has grown in the game.
Due to their propensity for smashing the ball into the ground, the names on the list of players who have hit the most sixes in ODI cricket are overlapping one another.
