Top 5 players with most sixes in T20 Cricket

T20 cricket as a format was introduced to speed up the style of cricket and make the game more dynamic to make the game interesting. In 2003, the ECB found that the audience enjoyed the powerplay and death overs more than the middle overs which is why they introduced the T20 format which made the game fast-paced.

The T20 format is perceived to be a batter’s game in which great bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah are much in demand. T20 is currently the most popular format in the current times mainly because of the sixes and fours which are in abundance in this format in comparison to other formats of cricket.
