Biggest hitters – Batsmen with most sixes in international cricket.

Since the inception of international cricket, the sport has seen a massive transformation. The Gentleman’s game started off with the Test format which had a certain orthodox and purist way of playing the sport. As the years rolled by, cricket donned new avatars with ODI cricket making its way into top-flight cricket.

The fast-paced ODI format demanded a more aggressive style of batting as teams built most of their wins around setting daunting totals. Then came along T20 cricket, which has been enthralling and entertaining. The batsmen are sent out with a mission to plunder bowling attacks to get the maximum runs from their allotted quota of 20 overs.
