5 players with most sixes in International Cricket in a calendar year across formats

#1 Rohit Sharma

The Hitman himself

Rohit Sharma made his debut in international cricket during the 2007 T20 World Cup against South Africa. His talent has never been in doubt. However, he has begun to consistently translate it into performances after MS Dhoni's masterstroke in 2013, when he asked Rohit to open the innings. Rohit relies mostly on touch and timing and is perhaps the most graceful player to watch when he is on the top of his game.

His six hitting is effortless, and he can clear any boundary in the world with exemplary ease. The only player in the world with three double hundreds in ODIs, he will surely be an ODI legend by the time he finishes his career.

Rohit climbed to the top of the pile after his record breaking century against Sri Lanka in the second T20 International in December 2017. He has hit 64 sixes in international cricket in 2017 till now, breaking AB De Villiers' record in the process.
