Chris Gayle – 143 sixes
Chris Gayle’s ability to hit sixes and fours over the ropes is well-known to cricket fans worldwide. The 41-year-old left-hander is one of the few cricket players with the power, skill, and timing of the game’s legend, Sir Donald Bradman. He has the record for hitting the most sixes in a Bangladesh Premier League season. Gayle broke a record by getting 143 maximums in 52 games and scoring 146 not out, putting his name in the history books. The Universe Boss accomplished this.
Tamim Iqbal – 84 sixes
Bangladesh’s first batter, Tamim Iqbal, had one of the best Twenty20 performances after the 2019 Bangladesh Premier League (BPL). Tamim got his first century in the BPL by scoring 141 runs in 61 balls. He didn’t lose a game the whole tournament. Ten fours and eleven sixes made up his total score. Tamim’s score of 141 in the final round of a T20 competition was good for second place. Because of his fantastic performance, he became the first batter from Bangladesh to hit 84 sixes in a Twenty20 match.
Tamim Iqbal – 83 sixes
Tamim Iqbal said he wanted to avoid being the captain of the Comilla Victorians in 2019, so Imrul Kayes was made captain. In the sixth season of the BPL, the winning team was led by Imrul. As captain of the BPL team, Kayes has done a lot. During the 2022 season, he will again be the captain of the Comilla team. Imrul’s help will be very helpful to the top order. Comilla must be the team’s main anchor when he is at bat. In the last T20 tournament game, Kayes scored an 81, which was good enough for third place. Because of how well he played, he became the best player in Bangladesh’s history to hit 84 sixes in a Twenty20 game.
Mushfiqur Rahim – 81 sixes
Mushfiqur is a top-rated Bangladeshi cricket player. He is both wicketkeeper and batsman. He bats with his right hand and employs an off-break delivery. He was in charge of the BPL team for eight years, from 2012 to 2022. During that time, they went 42-41-1 with one tie. Mushfiqur scored 98 in the last T20 game of the tournament, which was good enough for fourth place. Because of how well he played, he has 81 sixes, which is the most in a Twenty20 game in Bangladesh.
Mahmudullah – 71 sixes
Mahmudullah, a professional cricket player from Bangladesh, is known as “Riyad,” which means “the silent killer.” During the game, he bats wherever a batsman is needed. Both the arm he uses to bowl off-break and the hand he uses to hit are on the right side. Mahmudullah has played both first-class and List-A cricket for Dhaka Division. As captain, he led the BPL team to 42 wins, 41 losses, and one tie in 85 games from 2012 to 2022. Mushfiqur scored 70 in the last T20 game of the tournament, which was good enough for fifth place.
