Most Sixes in ICC World Cup 2023
The intensity of a batter to clear the ropes in a crowd-packed stadium will guarantee a huge roar. Sixes are often linked as a demanding product of T20I cricket but just a gentle reminder that six sixes in an over in international cricket first happened in ODIs courtesy Herschelle Gibbs (vs Netherlands in 2007 World Cup).
Teams who have at least one power-hitter each in their middle and lower middle order are sorted as the rapid nature of the game opens the gates for totals like 400 to a feasible extent.
Former England captain Eoin Morgan holds the record for most sixes (17) in an ODI innings against Afghanistan in the 2019 World Cup. Morgan pipped Chris Gayle's previous best tally of 16 sixes hammered against Zimbabwe in the 2015 WC.
