Cricket is not just a game of boundaries and sixes, but I think I’m in minority with those who always admire great fast bowling and batsmen who counter them with authority. In the World of Cricket, there are some great batsmen like Sachin Tendulkar, Muhammad Yousif, Ricky Ponting, Rahul Dravid, Jacques Kallis etc. But I’m really not looking at them. I’m looking at my Top ten Batsmen who can tear any bowling attack apart. These batsmen are a bowler’s nightmare, they can be match-winners on their day.
Today’s cricket, inspired by T20, is more about sixes which lands us onto the question ” which batsman has hit most sixes in ODI cricket career?” The answer is! No other than Pakistan’s swashbuckling all-rounder Shahid Afridi hit most sixes in ODI cricket. Best known as Boom Boom, started his career as leg spinner, scored century the first time he went out to bat which is still the fastest ever, and changed his career forever. He is known for his aggressive batting style, and holds many individual records. If you notice, Shahid Afridi also has the highest strike-rate among the greatest six hitters. Here, below is list of top 10 Batsmen with most sixes in ODI cricket.
