4. Richard Levi (13 Sixes):
This magnificent innings came while chasing a big total against a strong New Zealand attack. He was chasing a target ofZ 174 and hit 13 huge Sixes and destroyed the New Zealand attack to all parts and chased the total with 4 overs to spare. It was pure brutality and dominance at its very best against a top side while chasing. The fans were left awestruck after this knock.
5. Evin Lewis (12 Sixes):
Unfortunately for Indian fans this brutality came against the Indian team and he pummeled the Indian attack while chasing 191 runs and did not let the Indians come back in the match at all. He hit 12 massive sixes in that match and made a mockery of such a big target as the West Indies won that match with 9 deliveries to spare and 9 wickets remaining.
These are few of the most sixes in an innings, but there are many more batsmen who have hit huge Sixes in an innings but they do not find their place among these records but the fans remember those innings forever. Most notably among then is Yuvraj Singh’s 7 sixes against England in the 2007 20 over world cup , The fans to this date still remember that innings more than the record breaking innings. Records are very important but equally as important is making an impact with how little you can. That is the hallmark of a really great T20 international batter.
