Who is the biggest six hitter in cricket history?

Biggest Six Hitter In History 

Cricket has seen many entertainers and some massive hitters. There is a long list of big hitters, however a select few stand out for the shots they have played. Big hitters not only hit sixes regularly, but the biggest have consistently cleared stadiums and hit balls up to fifty rows back way past the boundary.

The biggest hitters in history can be identified from the current and past era of players. Bigger bats and amazing six hitting practice has lead to the biggest hitters officially coming from the current era.

I would say three players come to mind. One being Shahid Afridi himself who has hit some enormous balls, sometimes longer than 140 meters. However Kieran Pollard comes to the list also, with Chris Gayle. Gayle especially has hit balls consistently close to 150 meters. If he middles it, it is usually 30-40 meters well past the boundary. Pollard also hit some monsters when he was in good form several years ago, however he’s currently out of touch.

It’s a hard argument to narrow the choice between Afridi or Gayle. One would have to probably lean towards Gayle. But Afridi has hit more monster sixes from both sides of the wicket, so he probably is the winner in my opinion.

Afridi has hit some massive sixes, some commentators have gone as far to say he’s the biggest hitter that’s ever played the game. I agree with that argument. Afridi’s six off Andrew Symonds against Australia at the WACA went close to 140 meters and if the stand wasn’t there it would have gone even further. The 2^nd biggest six Afridi hit was in South Africa during a blistering innings of his two years ago. That six in South Africa went close to 140 meters, however others feel it went over 150 meters. Despite Gayle and others also hitting some massive sixes, the biggest sixes from Afridi are thought to be the longest in cricket history.

Shahid Afridi played cricket at the weight of 72 KG’s. Being 5 foot 11 inches, that is a very athletic weight. Afridi had minimal body fat during his peak years, however towards the end of his career his playing weight was close to 80 kg’s. Afridi was light because he had big responsibilities in the field, when bowling and when batting for Pakistan. Being involved in all skills of the game as an all rounder was a big factor as to why Afridi was always in such good condition.

How Tall Is Shahid Afridi? 5 Feet 11 Inches

Shahid Afridi is 5 foot 11 inches tall.  Afridi is not a big person in terms of physical stature which makes his ability to hit a very long cricket ball even more remarkable. Afridi was known from a young age to be able to hit the ball a very long way. He has an amazing eye and despite being muscular, his small height is a big difference to the massive height of Chris Gayle. That just shows how special Afridi is to be able to hit the ball as far as he can.
