With T20 cricket coming up, along with the emergence of the IPL and Big Bash along with other leagues around the world it has almost become an inevitable prerequisite for the batsmen to bat aggressively and try and hit the ball as hard as they can. World cricket has seen a lot of powerful hitters and merciless strikers of the cricket ball over the years.

Here is our list of Top 14 Hardest Hitters of the Cricket Ball.

1. Chris Gayle:

The limited overs specialist, the implacable marauder from West Indies Chris Gayle is one of the most feared batsmen in world cricket. He is a player who doesn’t run the ones and two’s but relies solely on hitting humongous sixes to score his runs. He hits the ball unbelievably hard with tremendous power and clobbers the sixes around the ground with ease. The bowlers have their heart in their mouth, when delivering the ball to Gayle, because if you miss your line by and inch he will make you pay for it, with his morale dipping treatment.
