3 players with the most international sixes in 2019

#1 Rohit Sharma

Rohit Sharma is a wonderful timer of the ball

Out of the 47 innings that Rohit Sharma played across the three formats of the game in 2019, he put the ball into the stands 78 times - with 20 sixes in Test matches, 36 in ODIs and 22 in T20 Internationals. The 32-year old was in remarkable form throughout the year both in red ball and white ball cricket and dominated every bowling attack he came across.

He is a natural timer of the ball and he doesn’t slog while he is trying to hit sixes. With the pull shot that he plays, he hardly ever tries to keep it on the ground. He presses slightly forward, picks the length, rocks back and gets under the ball to hit it over the ropes rather than getting on top of the bounce to keep it on the ground.

Even the drive that he plays with the straight bat, he often gives himself a little bit of room so that he can extend his arms to be able to play the ball in the air.
