Chris Gayle (West Indies) – 11 sixes
It is no shocking point to see the name of West Indies opener Chris Gayle in this list while his team won the 2016 T20 World Cup. The left-handed opening batsman Gayle smashed 11 sixes in that tournament.
The most interesting part was that Gayle smashed all the 11 sixes of that tournament in only one game where he scored match-winning 100 not out off just 48 balls against England in the Super 10 Stage game (at Mumbai on 16th March 2016). It was the most sixes in an innings during the T20 World Cup history.
