Former Australian skipper Ian Chappell began playing the hook shot during an early part of his career. While the hook shot shielded Chappell from the blistering pace of Michael Holding, Joel Garner and Andy Roberts, it gave him a psychological edge. A modern day cricketer receives a similar psychological edge when he smashes the ball into the crowd. Captaincy comes with its share of responsibilities but some of the captains have enjoyed batting with that pressure like never before and unleashed themselves on the opposition bowlers. That said, here is a list of captains with the most sixes in international cricket.

The former South African skipper Hansie Cronje was perhaps the first batsman who laid down the definition of aggressive batting. He liked to dominate the bowlers and was an able enough batsman to do so. Despite calling time on his cricketing career early on, Cronje slammed 107 sixes in just 191 innings in a career spanning 6 years.
