Rohit Sharma was the first Indian to achieve feat and is currently leading the list with 526 sixes. Virat Kohli stands at second number with 420. Overall, the West Indies great Chris Gayle holds the world record for hitting 1056 maximums in the shortest format of the game. He is the only player so far to have hit over 1000 sixes.
