3 Batters Who Can Hit The Maximum 6s In ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. The 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is scheduled to be the eighth ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tournament, scheduled to be played in Australia from 16 October to 13 November 2022.

Originally, the tournament was to be held in 2020, however, in July 2020, the International Cricket Council confirmed that the tournament had been postponed, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In August 2020, the ICC also confirmed that Australia would host the rearranged tournament in 2022 with the T20 World Cup scheduled to take place in India in 2021 as originally planned but was later moved to UAE and Oman.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 started with a bang, as Asia Cup 2022 champions Sri Lanka was defeated by minnows Namibia, while 2-time champions West Indies lost to Scotland. As far as hitting sixes is concerned, the likes of Suryakumar Yadav (most sixes in 2022), Rovman Powell, and David Miller are ahead in the race along with the experienced trio of Rohit Sharma, Jos Buttler and David Warner.

England skipper Jos Buttler made a successful return to International Cricket by scoring 68 of 32 balls against Australia in the 1st T20I. The right-handed batter was on the England Tour of Pakistan but did not feature in a single T20I match out of 7 T20Is due to an injury.

The inclusion of Jos Buttler was a huge boost to England as the batter got acclimatized to the Australian conditions-the venue of the upcoming 2022 T20I World Cup. He had an outstanding 2021 T20I World Cup where he scored 269 runs with 1 ton-career best of 101* averaging 89.67 in 6 T20Is. He may hit the most number of sixes in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. Jos Buttler was the 4th highest run-getter in the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 with 269 runs including a ton averaging 89.66.

David Warner, the Man of the Series in the last 2021 T20I World Cup where he amassed 289 runs in 7 innings averaging 48.17 and batted at a strike rate of 146.7 has a career strike rate of 140 plus and an average of nearly 35. He continued his form in the next bilateral series against Sri Lanka and West Indies and was rested for the India series.

He also scored 73 in the opening T20I against England. He may hit the most number of sixes in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022. He was the 2nd highest run-getter after Babar Azam in ICC T20 World Cup 2021.

Rohit Sharma has hit the most number of sixes in T20Is-178. He is ahead of Martin Guptill (173), Chris Gayle (124), Aaron Finch and Eoin Morgan (120), Evin Lewis and Paul Stirling (111), Virat Kohli (109), Colin Munro (107), David Warner (105), Jos Buttler (101), Glenn Maxwell and David Miller (100).

Rohit Sharma, being the skipper of the Men in Blue will play all the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 matches unless he’s injured. He may be the highest run-getter in the tournament. While KL Rahul was India’s highest run-getter in the 2021 T20 World Cup with 194 runs, Rohit Sharma was 2nd with 174 runs. He may hit the most number of sixes in the ICC T20 World Cup 2022.
