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;



<h2>3. Chris Gayle (124 sixes)</h2>

New Zealand opener Martin Guptill has once again climbed to the top spot in the list of batsmen with the most runs in T20Is. The right-handed batsman was 5 runs short of breaching Rohit Sharma's tally, who was at the top with 3487 runs. Guptill in the last game against west indies scored 15 runs and surpassed the Indian skipper Rohit Sharma by 10 runs.

He is yet to score a century in T20Is.

Since the Asia Cup is near, then Rohit Sharma has time to go ahead of Guptill. For the past few months, up and down in the list of highest run scorers between Rohit and Guptill is going on continuously.



Kohli, who acquires the third spot, will make his T20I comeback in the Asia Cup, which is slated to start in the last week of August.

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.

Veteran Kiwi batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Guptill">Martin Guptill</a> was at his stunning best in today's encounter in the Legends 90 League, a 90-ball league game played between retired legends from across the nation. 
The New Zealand opener was widely known as one of the greatest Kiwi batters and was widely known for his explosive batting style, often regarded as the finest of six hitters with several records in international cricket. 
Guptill smashed 16 sixes in his amazing score of 160 runs in an inning as he batted for only 49 balls, for such a massive score, with a strike rate above 300. In his innings, he smashed 16 sixes all around the mark; this enrolled him among the finest batters in the shortest format of the game. 
<h2 dir="ltr">Top 5 T20 players with the most 6s hit in a T20 innings: </h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1. Chris Gayle </h3>

Chris Gayle has unbelievable numbers for RCB in the IPL (Image Credit: X)
The universe boss is known worldwide as the greatest ever T20 batter, as he has hit most sixes throughout his career. Chris Gayle is widely known for his talent, as he appeared in the Bangladesh Premier League back in 2017 when he scored 146* against Dhaka Dynamites, starring for <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangpur_Riders">Rangpur Riders</a>.
Gayle hit 18 sixes in his innings, as this to date remains the record for sixes hit in a single T20 match by a single batter. Gayle features another time on this list at no. 3, as he hit 17 sixes during his 175* knock against Pune Warriors India back in IPL 2013. 
<h3 dir="ltr">2. Sahil Chauhan </h3>
While starring in the European championship for cricket, the Estonian batter Sahil Chauhan levelled with Gayle’s record as he smashed the iconic hundred (144*) against Cyprus in 2024 when he hit 18 sixes as well.
<h3 dir="ltr">3. Punit Bisht </h3>
A batter from the Indian domestic circle in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syed_Mushtaq_Ali_Trophy">Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy</a> marked Meghalaya batsman Punit Bisht with 17 sixes against Mizoram back in 2021. The batter scored an iconic 146* while hitting all those big hits.

The second match of the three-match ODI series between India and England was played on 9 February (Sunday) at Barabaati Stadium of Cuttack and in this game, the Indian Team secured an easy win by a margin of four wickets and took an unassailable lead of 2-0. Skipper Rohit Sharma played a fiery knock of 119 runs in 90 deliveries, which consisted of 12 fours and seven sixes. 
<h2>KL Rahul's below par performance with the bat continues</h2>
The return of Rohit Sharma to his explosive form was a good news for the Indian fans but wicketkeeper batter KL Rahul delivered yet another disappointing performance with the bat in this match as well. He returned to dugout after scoring just 10 runs and even in the previous match of the series, the 31-year-old managed to score just two runs. 
In both games, the former LSG skipper had a chance to apply the finishing touches but, he returned to the pavilion and failed to help the Men in Blue get over the line. 
Even in last year's Sri Lanka tour, Rahul wasn't able to do anything special with the bat, managing to score just 31 runs in two innings. Rishabh Pant replaced him in the side in the 3rd ODI. If we take a close look at his stats, then we get to know that Rahul has amassed just 43 runs in the last four One-Day International games at a miserable average of 10.75, which goes on to reflect his struggles in the format. 
Rahul's glove work was also poor in the Cuttack ODI as his mistake led to Joe Root getting a lifeline. On his advice, skipper Rohit Sharma decided not to take the DRS review versus Root but the replays later showed that the ball was hitting the stumps.
After watching the replays, skipper Rohit regretted the decision of not taking the DRS and was very pissed off with KL Rahul. A wicketkeeper's advice is very important in taking a call of DRS reviews for LBW. 
<h2>Will Pant get a chance to play in the 3rd ODI? </h2>
The question which arises here is, will the Indian team management carry on with KL Rahul as the main wicketkeeper in the 3rd &amp; Final ODI of the series in Ahmedabad? Wicketkeeper batsman Rishabh Pant is a part of the squad as well and the 27-year-old is a better wicketkeeper than KL Rahul and also has a lot of experience of keeping the wickets on bouncy &amp; spinning tracks. 
The newly appointed LSG skipper has participated in 31 One-Day International matches for the Men in Blue, where he has managed to score 871 runs at a decent average of 33.50. He has also slammed five fifties and a century in the format. 
KL Rahul, on the other hand, has amassed 2,863 runs in 79 ODI games at an average of 47.71 with the help of seven hundreds and 18 fifties. While the statistics of the latter are better than the former, constant failures of the latter with the bat is increasing the tension of the Indian team management ahead of Champions Trophy 2025.The team management would definitely want to give an attacking batsman like Pant a chance to prove himself before the commencement of the Champions Trophy.

IND vs ENG: KL Rahul's below par performance with the bat might force the Indian Team Management to go ahead with Rishabh Pant as the wicketkeeper batter in the 3rd ODI versus England in Ahmedabad.

Australian Women's National Cricket Team's experienced opening batter Beth Mooney has successfully won the ICC Women's Player of the Month award for January of 2025 thanks to her impressive performances during the Women's Ashesh 2025 series versus England
The left-handed batter saw off the competition from the duo of West Indian spinner Karishma Ramharack and Indian Cricket Team's U-19 star Trisha Gongdi to win the prestigious monthly accolade. 
This is also the first time in her career that Mooney has won the player of the month award and the second consecutive monthly award for an Aussie star after in-form all-round Annabel Sutherland won the award in December of 2024.
<blockquote>
"The Women's Aussie team has had incredible month of January, winning the Ashes in front of our home crowd was very special and culminating the series by taking part in the first ever Day &amp; Night Women's Test Match at the MCG in front of a large crowd is an unforgettable moment for the whole team. This team continues to perform well and deliver amazing results and I am very happy &amp; proud to be a part of such an amazing group," Mooney said.
</blockquote>
The opener started off the ODI series slowly but she bounced back in awesome fashion with a brilliant fifty in the third One-Day International in Hobart. After the Kangaroos lost four wickets for a mere score or 59 runs, the 31-year-old played an incredible knock of 50 runs in 64 deliveries to give the Heather Knight-led team a tough fight and set the stage for the hosts to post a score of 308 runs in 50 overs and secure the victory in the contest. 
In the T20 International series, Mooney carried on with her good form, scoring 213 runs at an amazing strike rate or 146.89 and cemented her position as the top-ranked batter. She scored 75 runs in 44 balls before going on to smash an unbeaten 94 runs off 63 deliveries in Adelaide, her highest score in the shortest format of the game in five years, to guide the Kangaroos to a dominant series victory versus their Fierce-Rivals.
She also won the Player-of-the-Match accolade for her incredible performances in both the first &amp; the last T20 International games of the series and she also ended the series as the highest run getter.

"Winning this award is an honor," Warrican remarked upon receiving it. "My first five-for in Test cricket was one of my goals for this year, but I didn't think it would be this significant." 
"I see this as just one little step in my cricket career, and I'm excited for many more to come." In this series, I promised my captain something spectacular, especially after my father, who is my biggest supporter, said I would give a fantastic performance.
In addition to the West Indies' historic victory over Pakistan away from home, Multan holds a particular place in my heart for receiving this esteemed honor."
