Batting is all about entertainment and the batsmen who can provide that entertainment are the most loved by cricket fans, they are the crowd pullers. It’s always a joy to watch balls flying out into the stands, sixes have always been fascinating from the fans point of view. Cricketers like Chris Gayle, MS Dhoni, and Shahid Afridi have always kept the fans enthralled with their power hitting skills. But, six hitting is not only about the unorthodox approach, which was proved by the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting who have also hit massive numbers of sixes in their career. Here are the batsmen with most sixes at each batting position in ODIs.

The modern day master is famous for his ability to smash those big hits into the crowd. Gayle had earned all his reputation for his aggressive style of batting. Once the ‘Caribbean Sixer King’ gets going, the match is as good as over for the opposition. Gayle has a double century in ODIs to his name and numerous other batting records. The gentle giant has so far hit a staggering 162 sixes in 186 matches he has played in his ODI career spanning from the year 2000 to present.
