The emergence of Twenty20 International (T20I) cricket has thrown a lot on the plate since past one decade. The miseries were added to the bowlers, but being street-street the bowling stock has found the alternatives to tackle the batters from time-to-time.
Apart from the Indian bowlers, the most sixes conceded by bowlers in the shorter version of the game include some of the exciting names in the world cricket.
