6 Longest Sixes In The History Of International Cricket

Cricket is one of the most loved and followed sport in the World. Most of us love to enjoy cricket match and stay curious about the wickets, sixes and everything. Shahid Afridi holds the record for longest six in International cricket lasting as long as 158 meters against South Africa, 3rd ODI at Johannesburg on March 17, 2013. There’s nothing quite as spectacular as watching someone hit a six in cricket.

* Albert Trott

At the number one spot we have Albert Trott, who was a Test cricketer for both England and Australia. Instead of awarding the number one spot to the longest six, we decided to go for a six that holds an iconic place in history. This was when Albert cleared the Lord’s Pavilion.

* Shahid Afridi

It is not surprising to see Shadid Afridi on this list again. After all, many people remark him as the King of Sixes, boasting the highest Strike Rate and the most number of sixes in ODI Cricket.

* Yuvraj Singh

Yuvraj was one of the architects behind India’s victorious T20 and 50 overs World Cup campaigns in 2007 and 2011 respectively. Many cricket fans admire Singh’s stylish play, and they certainly admired the six he hit on 22nd September 2007 during the World Twenty20 against Australia.

* MS Dhoni

Next we have another one of the most impressive sixes hit by MS Dhoni. This occurred on March 8th in 2009 during India’s tour to New Zealand. The match was the third ODI for India and when the Indian skipper hit the breath-taking six, he didn’t even look at the ball once it left his bat.

* Corey Anderson

Corey James Anderson is an all-rounder who hails from New Zealand but currently plays for the Mumbai Indians in the IPL. Last year, Corey Anderson introduced himself on the International scale on January 19th. He hit a ball on the roof of Napier for New Zealand against India. He powered New Zealand to 292 with four sixes, two of which were out the ground.

* Chris Gayle

Chris Gayle is a Jamaican cricketer who captained the West Indies’ Test side from 2007 until 2010. He once held the record for the highest score in a World Cup, with 215 runs. Chris hit the biggest six of the entire World Twenty20 tournament in 2010 at Bridgetown. On May 9th, Gayle hit a stunner on the bowling of Yusuf Pathan.
