The 6ixty 2022: Predicting three players who can hit the most number of sixes
The inaugural season of The Sixty will start on August 24.
The inaugural season of the 6IXTY is barely two weeks away. The tournament will be played in a T10 format. Notably, the teams which will play in the tournament compete in the existing Caribbean Premier League, which is a T20 league. Talking about players, a lot of stars have signed up for the innovative tournament.
The rules of the tournament say that if the batter hit two sixes in the first two overs, they will get an extra over of the powerplay. It can be safely said that the batters won’t be trying to judge the wicket and instead go for the big hits. In this listicle, we will discuss three names that can hit the maximum number of sixes during the tournament.
Three players who can hit the highest number of sixes
- Rovman Powell
The Jamaican has the ability to hit the long ball and has been in form in the last few months. During the Indian T20 League 2022, he was one of the highest six hitters with 22 hits over the ropes to his name. Overall, the right-hander has 153 sixes to his name in domestic T20s.
Also, the best part about the Jamaican’s batting is that he has long levers and power in his areal shots. Notably, he will play for Jamaica Tallawahs, the franchise for which he plays in the CPL.
2. Kieron Pollard
The Trinbago Knight Riders skipper needs no introduction in terms of six-hitting. The fans will know that he prefers hitting sixes down the ground. It has been observed that the length of the delivery doesn’t bother him much if he wants to hit the white out of the ground.
Talking about his six-hitting number, he has a mind-boggling 779 sixes to his name in 599 across the globe. After all, he plays for different teams in T20 Leagues around the earth. He will be one of the top candidates for the highest number of sixes in the tournament.
3. Evin Lewis
The opening batter for the West Indies and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots team is one of the dangerous strikers at the top order. Now looking at the rules, the teams will get an extra over of the powerplay if they hit two sixes in the powerplay overs.
The left-hander might be the best candidate to do it. In T20 cricket, he has 385 sixes to his name in 198 games.
