On expected terms, “Universe Boss” Christopher Henry Gayle holds the record for smashing the most number of sixes in T20 World Cup history.

Gayle, who opened the inaugural edition of the global showpiece event with a majestic 117 against South Africa, smashed 63 sixes during his 33-match T20 World Cup career.

The magnanimity of Gayle’s achievement can be gauged from the fact that he has a 28 six lead over the second-highest six scorer, Rohit Sharma (35 sixes in 36 innings).

Stylish Indian southpaw Yuvraj Singh, who smashed six sixes in an over during the inaugural edition of the ICC T2O World Cup, is at the fourth spot with 33 sixes against his name in 28 innings.

Former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson rounds off the top five spot, thanks to his 31 sixes in just 24 matches.
