Top 10 Batsmen with most sixes in a calendar year in ODIs

Top 10 Batsmen with most sixes in a calendar year in ODIs: In the game of cricket, the ball flying in the air and landing over the boundary ropes into the stands is the most awesome sight for the spectators watching the game (bowlers are not very fond of this sight). The crowd loves it. Sixes mesmerise the crowd, some are jaw dropping and leave them stunned and excited at the same time.

With the introduction of limited-overs cricket way back in the 70’s, hitting sixes has become more common. It adds spice to the viewing experience and keeps the interest alive.

Some players are just born for big hitting. Some batsmen do it in an orthodox way while others just see that ball and make disappear out of their sight. These players are among the most followed cricketers since the entertainment quotient involved in their game is the highest.

Here we look at the list of Top 10 Batsmen with most sixes in a calendar year in ODIs:

10. Brendon McCullum – 32 sixes, 2015:

The brawny New Zealander is No.10 in this list. Brendon McCullum fears no bowler. He can scoop the fastest bowlers for sixes over the wicket-keeper’s head or can just simply stand and clear the ropes. McCullum is having a fantastic time with the bat this year. In the 22 innings he played, McCullum has hit 32 sixes so far. He also has a very impressive strike rate of 148.94 this year.
