Sixes have always been an important aspect of a T20I match. No matter what the situation of the innings is, or what phase the game is in, a big hit over the fence is all a team needs to gain the upper hand. Several batsmen all across the globe have been seen helping their team get over the line courtesy of some wonderful big hitting.&nbsp;



The six-hitting ability is what makes a batsman useful to the side during a steep run chase, or even post a big total by spring quick runs in the middle and death overs. Over the years, the shortest format of cricket has seen several such batsmen mastering the art of hitting the ball into the stands at will.&nbsp;



It's time for us to take a look at the top three batsmen with the most sixes in T20 internationals so far.&nbsp;

IPL Auction 2023 Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can bid on these two Openers: The IPL 2023 Mini-Auction is about to start. With only a few days left, this year is going to be a special season for the Chennai Super Kings franchise and their fans, as all the cricket experts and fans are assuming that this could be MS Dhoni's last year in the tournament. The CSK franchise is also gearing up for this year. Ahead of the 16th mini-auction of the IPL season, the franchise retained 18 players and released 8.



The yellow army will take part in the auction to be held in Kochi on December 23 with 20.45 crore in its purse. During the auction, the franchise can buy only 7 players for their squad, of whom there will be 2 overseas players. Here, we discuss the two opening players that Chennai Super Kings can bid on at the IPL auction in 2023.



<h2>IPL Auction 2023: Chennai Super Kings (CSK) can bid on these two Openers</h2>



<h2>Jason Roy (Base Price - 1.5 Cr)</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Jason-Roy-1.jpg" alt="BCCI to penalise foreign players who pulled out of Tata IPL 2022" class="wp-image-86280" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL/Twitter</figcaption></figure>



The Chennai Super Kings can bid on Jason Roy, a first-choice opener, in the IPL auction of 2023. This season, he has kept his own base price of Rs. 1.5 crore. In the last edition, he was in the Gujarat Titans camp, but he did not get a chance to play a single match. In the 2021 season, he played for Sunrisers Hyderabad, for whom he scored 150 runs in five matches at an average of 30. 



Right-handed English batsman Jason Roy also plays in different leagues. That's why he has a lot of experience in short-format games. Chennai is also looking for a batsman who gives a safe and fast start during the powerplay, for which Jason Roy can be the perfect match.

Another opener that Chennai Super Kings can seek at the IPL auction in 2023 is Martin Guptill. For New Zealand, He is one of the highest run scorers in T20 international matches. Martin Guptill, full of experience, has played a total of 13 matches so far, in which he has scored a total of 270 runs at a strike rate of 137. The rhythm of Guptill's strokeplay is a crucial aspect of his hitting. He has a flawless ability to handle both pacers and spinners, making him a very challenging batsman to stop when he is in the zone.



This year he has kept his base price at 1 crore. If Chennai shows interest in him, then he can be easily bought for up to 1.5 crores.

Whenever it comes to ODI cricket in modern times, one name often comes under the radar, and that is of veteran Indian batter Virat Kohli. Players like Virat Kohli have often drawn comparisons among the 4 greatest players of his generation, with New Zealand’s Kane Williamson, Australia’s<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Smith_(cricketer)"> Steve Smith</a>, and England’s Joe Root being the other three. 
Virat Kohli is the fourth-highest run-getter in international cricket and also has the third-most runs in the history of the One Day format. Kohli has the international record of scoring the fastest 8000, 9000, 10000, 11000, 12000, and 13000 runs in ODI cricket. 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashim_Amla">Hashim Amla</a> is the only player to have scored 7,000 ODI runs faster than veteran Virat Kohli, while now the legendary Kiwi batter has surpassed the likes of the Indian veteran. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Kane Williamson scored a terrific hundred against South Africa in the Tri-series</h2>

Kane Williamson, the Kiwi batter, is back playing in limited-overs cricket for New Zealand, and the Kiwi batsman is excelling as a batter under the new skipper Mitchell Santner. After a comeback fifty in the first ODI against Pakistan, the host nation, the Kiwi former skipper backed the 300+ chase with a stellar hundred. 
Williamson led the batting by example alongside Devon Conway, who also marked his return to the 11, following a brief setback owing to injuries and lack of form. However, it's good news all around for the Kiwis, as their best batters are returning to form before the onset of the Champions Trophy. 
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kane_Williamson">Kane Williamson</a> scored an unbeaten 133* off just 113 balls against South Africa after they put a huge 305-run total at the back of Breetzke’s maiden 150 on debut. Williamson was also chosen as the Player of the Match, in which New Zealand advanced into the finals of the Tri-Series. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Kane Williamson goes past Kohli to attain the No. 2 spot</h2>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virat_Kohli">Virat Kohl</a>i earlier was the second fastest to 7000 ODI runs, only behind South African veteran Hashim Amla, who reached the milestone in just 151 innings, while the Indian veteran took 161 innings to achieve the same milestone. 
While the Blackcap kingpin, Kane Williamson, scored a stellar hundred, he completed 7000 ODI runs in just 159 innings and hence became the second fastest batter to do so, replacing Virat from the second spot. 
With this, Kane also turned into only the fifth New Zealand batter after Stephen Fleming, Ross Taylor, Martin Guptill, and Nathan Astle to have scored more than 7000 runs in the white-ball limited-overs format. With this, he also became New Zealand’s quickest batter to 7000 ODI runs, leaving behind Guptill comfortably by a huge margin of innings.
