Most Sixes in International Cricket 2025: Power-hitting has become the defining feature of modern-day cricket.
With lighter bats, improved fitness, and fearless intent, batters today can turn matches around in a matter of overs.
Big grounds no longer intimidate players, and even a slow start is no cause for panic, as explosive hitting can quickly make up the difference.
The year 2025 once again showcased how six-hitting has evolved into a crucial weapon across formats.
From T20 specialists to all-format stars, several batters lit up stadiums worldwide by regularly clearing the ropes.
Here’s a look at the players who smashed the most sixes in international cricket in 2025 among Test-playing nations.
5. Tanzid Hasan – 44 Sixes
Bangladesh opener Tanzid Hasan continues to impress with his growing power game. Unlike traditional openers who focus on placement and timing, Tanzid prefers to attack bowlers by targeting the stands.
In 2025, the left-hander struck 44 sixes in 34 innings across ODIs and T20Is. A staggering 41 of those maximums came in T20Is, underlining his dominance in the shortest format. Although he is yet to make his Test debut, Tanzid’s white-ball performances highlight his evolution into a genuine power hitter.
4. Sahibzada Farhan – 45 Sixes
Pakistan batter Sahibzada Farhan featured exclusively in T20Is in 2025 and made his presence felt with consistent big hitting. Known for his clean striking, Farhan was one of Pakistan’s standout performers during the Asia Cup.
Across 26 T20I innings, he hammered 45 sixes, finishing the year with an average of 30.84 and a strike rate of 133.62. While not the fastest scorer on paper, a significant portion of Farhan’s runs came via maximums, making him a valuable middle-order enforcer.
3. Harry Brook – 50 Sixes
England’s white-ball captain Harry Brook epitomises the modern multi-format batter. Fearless, adaptable, and aggressive, Brook carried his attacking intent across Tests, ODIs, and T20Is in 2025.
He smashed 50 sixes in 45 innings, including 14 in Tests, 20 in ODIs, and 16 in T20Is. Even during the ongoing Ashes 2025–26, where batting conditions have been challenging, Brook managed to clear the ropes four times in eight innings, highlighting his exceptional range and confidence.
2. Abhishek Sharma & Shai Hope – 54 Sixes Each
Abhishek Sharma has rapidly emerged as one of India’s most destructive T20I openers. The left-hander’s ability to dominate bowlers from the outset has seen him single-handedly decide matches.
In just 21 T20I innings, Abhishek smashed 54 sixes, showcasing his unmatched six-hitting frequency.
Joining him is Shai Hope, who has transformed his game over the years. Once known for his conservative approach, the West Indies batter has significantly improved his strike rate. In 2025, Hope struck 54 sixes—four in Tests, 18 in ODIs, and 32 in T20Is—reflecting his evolution into a more aggressive all-format player.
1. Dewald Brevis – 65 Sixes
South Africa’s rising star Dewald Brevis sits comfortably at the top of the list. The young batting sensation enjoyed a sensational 2025, smashing a remarkable 65 sixes in just 32 innings across formats.
His tally included six sixes in Tests, 20 in ODIs, and 39 in T20Is, underlining his versatility. Brevis’ breathtaking knock against Australia in the second T20I at Darwin on August 12 was a reminder of his immense potential. At just 22 years old, he already looks destined to be the cornerstone of South Africa’s batting future.
Final Word
The six-hitting charts of 2025 underline how fearlessness and innovation now define elite batting. From emerging talents like Dewald Brevis to established stars like Harry Brook, the art of clearing the boundary has reached new heights—making international cricket more explosive and entertaining than ever before.
