While Hong Kong's Babar Hayat is currently the batter with most sixes in 2024, the list also includes some other big names such as Australia's big hitter Travis Head and India's yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma as well. The best of these players' six hitting capabilities is seen in the shortest format of the game i.e, T20 cricket. Domestic leagues like the Indian Premier League among others showcase some fine displays of power hitting and gets the fans on the edge of their seats more often than not every year.
