(Note: Numbers are indicative of the era; active players like Jos Buttler and David Warner are closing in on these figures.) For over two decades, the name "Shahid Afridi" has been synonymous with the word "six." When a 16-year-old Afridi walked to the crease in Nairobi in 1996, he didn't just announce his arrival; he detonated it. His 37-ball century—then the fastest in ODI history—featured 11 sixes, a number that felt like a misprint at the time. most sixes in odi international cricket

Gayle has hit the longest sixes recorded in ODI history (often exceeding 110 meters). He doesn't swing hard; he swings through. His 215 against Zimbabwe in the 2015 World Cup saw him hit 16 sixes—the most by any individual in a single ODI innings. | Rank | Player | Country | Matches
