The inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup took place in 2007. At that time, the teams were new to the 20-over format and the skill sets required to excel in it were not evident. It has been fifteen years since the T20 carnival began and six-hitting has been found to be an integral part in the success of the teams.

Six-hitting is an art. It requires effort and concentration. Many teams have unearthed some gems who have aced the art of clearing the ropes. One has witnessed many legends of the game such as Yuvraj Singh, <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/i-hope-the-team-plays-well-chris-gayle-predicts-finalists-of-t20-world-cup-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chris Gayle</a>, and Shane Watson put up an exhibition of smashing maximums at the grandest stage of them all. The mantle seems to have taken over by modern-day T20 superstars like Jos Buttler, David Miller, and Glenn Maxwell.

Let us look at the top five teams who have smashed the most sixes in the marquee tournament:

Sri Lanka have struck 172 sixes in the history of the tournament. The Lankan Lions might not contain numerous power hitters like West Indies but have many sweet timers of the ball. This has been the secret to their six-hitting prowess.

<a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/they-need-confidence-mahela-jayawardene-believes-india-can-fare-well-in-t20-world-cup/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mahela Jayawardene</a> has struck the most sixes for his side with 25 to his name followed by Tillakaratne Dilshan’s 20 maximums. Among the cricketers who are featuring in the ongoing T20 extravaganza, Charith Asalanka has cleared the ropes the most number of times (9).

Sri Lanka have played amazing cricket in the marquee tournament. They were the champions of the fifth edition which was conducted in 2014 and have been the runners-up on two occasions. However, the Lions have missed out on the semi-final spot in the last two times, and Dasun Shanka &amp; Co. will look to put on an improved show this time around.

England are fourth on the list of the most sixes struck at the global event with 194 maximums to their name. Jos Buttler has been the major contributor to the tally with 26 sixes. Luke Wright and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/eoin-morgan-was-ahead-of-his-time-in-realizing-the-value-to-english-cricket-of-the-ipl-nasser-hussain/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Eoin Morgan</a> have also been sensational at the T20 World Cup smashing 21 maximums and 20 maximums respectively.

The Three Lions won their first-ever ICC trophy at the T20 carnival and that epic moment took place in the year 2010. Kevin Pietersen was the Player of the Series amassing 248 runs in six games. Apart from the historic win, they were also the runners-up in 2016, and even in the previous edition, they reached the semi-finals.&nbsp;

Buttler &amp; Co. will look to better their performance and end the 12-year title drought at the ongoing T20 competition in Australia. If England succeeds in doing so, one can expect the tally of maximums to get a big boost for sure considering the firepower they possess in their arsenal.

Pakistan have been the most consistent team in the competition since its inception. In the seven completed editions of the tournament, they have qualified for the semis on five occasions. The Men in Green even went all the way in 2009 and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/the-aim-should-be-to-go-out-on-a-high-shahid-afridi-suggests-retirement-for-virat-kohli-while-being-on-his-peak/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Shahid Afridi</a> was the hero of the final for his all-round performance.

When it comes to hitting sixes, Pakistan are not behind either and have smashed 195 of them so far.&nbsp; The flamboyant all-rounder Afridi has struck 21 maximums which is the most by a Pakistan batter. Umar Akmal has also been a prolific six-hitter and has cleared the ropes 19 times.

In the last year’s T20 World Cup, Mohammad Rizwan and Asif Ali led Pakistan’s charge with the bat and hit 12 sixes and 7 sixes respectively. Eyes will be on the duo again as Babar Azam &amp; Co. gun for glory at the marquee event in Australia.

West Indies are renowned for their striking abilities and there have been many power-hitters who have donned the West Indies jersey at the T20 World Cup. Thus, it is not a surprise that they are second on the list of most maximums with 210 to their name.

The ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle has led the way in hitting sixes and has clobbered the ball out of the park on 63 occasions. This insane tally is the most by any individual player at the World Cup. Dwayne Bravo and <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/the-stuff-and-strut-of-marlon-samuels/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Marlon Samuels</a> have also flexed their muscles many times and have struck 25 and 21 maximums in the tournament.

West Indies have been the most successful team in the tournament winning the title twice. The first time they won the competition was in 2012 and were again victorious in 2016. Interestingly, Samuels was the Player of the match on both occasions.

However, in the previous installment, they had a pretty poor campaign and faced an early exit from the competition. This time around onus will be on Nicholas Pooran &amp; Co. to bring the World Cup home.

Australia have struck the most number of sixes in the history of the World Cup. The Aussies have cleared the ropes 211 times at the marquee tournament. The duo of <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/david-warner-partied-more-than-believing-in-practice-we-sent-him-back-virender-sehwag-makes-massive-revelation/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">David Warner</a> and Shane Watson have been the primary six hitters of the side and both have struck 31 maximums each in the competition.

Australia have also played some exciting brand of cricket in the World Cup. As a result, they have qualified for the semi-finals on four occasions and last year they even went on to win the tournament. Warner was adjudged Player of the Series for aggregating 289 runs in seven games at a strike rate of 146.70.

This time around Aaron Finch &amp; Co. have the opportunity to recreate history and be the first team to successfully defend their T20 crown. Australia have picked a formidable side and have all the ingredients to win the tournament.
