Top five hard-hitting batsmen in modern-day cricket

3. Kieron Pollard

The big-hitting West Indian has earned his fame by plying his trade in the Indian Premier League and other such T20 competitions. He is the example of the modern cricketer born out of the T20 revolution. Kieron Pollard largely depends on brute strength and can hit a good ball for a six. He is very deadly against the spinners with his big stature and long reach as he can pick up the ball on the pitch and lift it for a massive six. He has a good hand-eye coordination, which is a gift that all hard-hitting batsmen have. He has not been able to prove his talent in the Test match arena so far, but he is not a mindless player in any sense.
