The T20 format is synonymous with entertainment, often favouring batters over bowlers. Whether in international matches, domestic competitions, or global franchise leagues, fans have consistently enjoyed towering sixes. With batter-friendly pitch conditions, bowlers often struggle in this shortest format, allowing power hitters to dominate the game.
Chris Gayle leads the pack with a staggering 1,056 sixes in 455 innings from 2005 to 2022. The "Universe Boss" is the only player to surpass 1,000 sixes in T20s. Apart from representing the West Indies, Gayle has played across numerous franchise leagues. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), he tops the six-hitting chart with 357 sixes in 141 innings, representing four different franchises.
Kieron Pollard holds the second spot with 901 sixes in 614 innings. The former West Indies all-rounder has vast experience across franchise leagues and currently plays for MI Emirates in the ILT20 League. In a recent match against Desert Vipers, Pollard smashed 36 off 23 balls, including three sixes, to reach the 900-six milestone.
Another West Indies star, Andre Russell, ranks third with 727 sixes in 456 innings. Known for his explosive batting, Russell is playing for Abu Dhabi Knight Riders in the ILT20 League and will represent Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL 2025 as they aim to defend their title.
Nicholas Pooran, regarded as one of the finest current power-hitters, is fourth on the list with 593 sixes in 351 innings. The Windies batter currently captains MI Emirates in the ILT20 League and will feature in IPL 2025 for Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).
Former New Zealand batter Colin Munro sits fifth with 590 sixes in 415 innings. A top-order batter mostly in his career, known for his aggressive style, Munro recently captained Brisbane Heat in the ongoing Big Bash League in Australia. However, he got dropped in the last game as Usman Khawaja came in as the skipper of the side.
