#3 Sanath Jayasuriya - 270 sixes
It all started with Sanath Jayasuriya. He was the first batsman to crack the code to score quick runs in first 15 overs of the game. The flashy left-handed batsman from Sri Lanka possessed skills to dominate any bowling attack on his day. He, along with Romesh Kaluwitharana, gave opening the batting a whole new dimension.
Jayasuriya represented Sri Lanka in 445 ODIs and hammered 270 sixes. The iconic all-rounder is also the only cricketer to score 10,000 runs and pick 300 wickets in ODI cricket history.
