Let’s look at ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 Most sixes.
Chris Gayle
Chris Gayle, the best ODI batsman for the West Indies, is the player with the most sixes in the ODI World Cup. Gayle played 35 times for West Indies at the World Cup and smashed 49 sixes. The reliable batsman had a respectable average of 35.93 runs per game while playing. Gayle used to strike the ball so hard that it would mentally harm the bowlers.
AB DE Villiers
AB DE Villiers, a former South African legend dubbed as “Mr.360” for his amazing batting, is ranked second on the list of top sixers in the ODI World Cup. The seasoned batter helped himself to his 1207th World Cup by smashing 37 sixes in 23 games of the championship.
Rickey Ponting
Ricky Ponting, the two-time World Cup champion captain, and a bowling nightmare comes in third with 31 sixes in the World Cup total. Ponting, who participated in 46 games across five World Cups hit 31 sixes and scored 1743 runs.
The batsman frequently inspired his side with his brilliant play, and his sixes came from a combination of good timing and a little bit of force.
Brendon McCullum
He holds the fourth spot in the list of most sixes. One of the best batsmen in New Zealand cricket history is undoubtedly Brendon McCullum, a former captain of the country. He was one of the greatest limited-overs cricket players ever thanks to his aggressive hitting style and acrobatic fielding abilities. Also, he played a daring captain, which is one of the main factors in New Zealand’s World Cup comeback.
McCullum’s World Cup statistics are poor, despite his strong overall international results. McCullum only managed to score 742 runs in 27 World Cup innings, including one century and six half-centuries. His hit rate of 120.84 is the highest in the history of the competition, though (minimum of 12 innings).
Gibbs, Herschelle
Hershelle Gibbs, a legendary batter from South Africa, hit 28 sixes on 25 occasions, ranking fifth among all batsmen in the World Cup. Between 1999 and 2011, Gibbs participated in four World Cups for the Proteas, scoring 1067 runs in 25 innings at an excellent average of 56.15.
