 "Most sixes in 2024")
The year 2024 is ending, and so is all the cricket action of this remarkable calendar year. The aggressive approach to cricket was redefined this season as players preferred going directly into the stands rather than trying to push the ball past the boundary. We saw a record number of sixes being hit this season in all three formats of the game. India’s Yashasvi Jaiswal (36 sixes), UAE’s Muhammad Waseem (55 sixes), and West Indies’ Sherfane Rutherford (23 sixes) topped the list of highest six-hitters in Tests, T20Is, and ODIs, respectively.

Following him were Sri Lanka’s Kamindu Mendis, who smashed 21 sixes, and New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips and India’s Shubman Gill, both with 18 sixes each.
