Sixer or over-boundary is a powerful thing in cricket, which can change a match situation in very quick time.
During the Test cricket era, the batsmen hardly hit sixes. However, this mindset has rapidly changed with the growth of this game. In the present T20 cricket era, every batsman focuses on the boundaries.
With the time progress, we have seen more and more sixes in the Cricket World Cup (CWC). Here we are briefly discussing the total number of sixes in each CWC edition.
