#2 MS Dhoni – 78 sixes
This is one name in this list that shouldn’t surprise a lot of people. Mahendra Singh Dhoni right from the start of his career had the ability to hit sixes at will. India’s most successful captain in all three formats had the power to clear any boundary in the world.
One MS Dhoni six that will forever be remembered is that World Cup-winning shot over long-on. But he has struck a lot of sixes even in Test cricket. In 90 Test matches, Dhoni has hit 78 sixes in his Test career.
The Ranchi-born wicketkeeper-batsman might be one of the best finishers in limited-overs cricket, but his contribution in Test cricket also has been very good. He often stood tall when his team was in trouble. He also consolidated positions of strength by getting quick runs lower down the order. In his 90-Test career, Dhoni scored 4876 runs at an average of 38.09.
