T20 cricket has always offered entertainment to fans as the game runs faster than any other format of the game. Fans enjoy watching batters go all guns blazing and striking at an alarming rate.
With the T20 World Cup happening on Australian pitches, where the ball comes in nicely on the bat, one can expect many maximums in the tournament. Even though the boundary sizes are relatively large, this generation of batters are equipped enough to clear the rope with ease.
In this article, we talk about three batters who can hit the most number of sixes in the T20 World Cup 2022.
1) Jos Buttler
The English skipper is one of the most destructive batters in the world at present. On his day, he can dismantle any bowling line-up on any ground across the globe. He has a reputation for hitting sixes with great ease.
Be it a fast bowler or a spinner, the right-handed batter spares no one in his path. In 89 T20I innings, he has 101 sixes to his name. He had hit the most number of sixes in the 2021 T20 World Cup. Speaking of his form, Buttler fired two half-centuries in the recently concluded T20I series against Australia.
With form on his side, the 32-year-old will be a nightmare for the bowlers. Once he gets set, it’s tough to stop him. He is definitely one of the top contenders to hit the most sixes in the tournament.
2) Rohit Sharma
If hitting sixes is an art, then Rohit Sharma is the picasso of it. The Indian opener clears the ropes with pure timing and at times uses his power. Once on the song, he can hit as many sixes as anybody in the business.
Justifying the statement, Rohit has hit the most sixes in T20I history – 178 sixes. He is also second on the list of most sixes in international cricket, just behind Chris Gayle.
Although he has been struggling with form of late, it will take just one good innings for him to get back into form. He would like to leave a mark on the tournament not only with his captaincy but also with the bat.
3) David Warner
David Warner is another electrifying name on the list. He is a very reliable batter who holds the ability to win matches single-handedly. His aggressive approach and power-hitting comes second to none.
In the 2021 T20 World Cup, he scored 289 runs in 7 matches at a strike-rate of 146.70, including 10 sixes. He was adjudged the Player of the Tournament for his vital contribution in the baggy green’s title win last year.
Since the mega-event is happening in his own country, Warner will have a fair advantage as he knows the conditions best. The left-handed batter has shown great form in recent games, which indicates what’s about to come. It wouldn’t be surprising if he gets the most number of sixes under his hat this time.
