5 Players who hammered the Most Sixes in Cricket World Cups-compressed

There are two ways to smash a six in the game of cricket, one is by hitting the ball with brute force and relying on the power to hit the ball over the fence. The other way is to smash a six on pure timing, which can be achievable against the fast bowler as a batsman can use the pace of the ball to tonk it over the boundary rope.

Moreover, smashing a six can shift the momentum in favour of the batting team. It often boosts the batting side to score runs at a rate of knots. By doing so, it instantly puts pressure on the bowlers. Scoring a six in the Cricket World Cups gives the batters a great deal of confidence going forward.

In this listicle, let’s now learn about the five players who hit the most sixes in Cricket World Cups.
