Top 5 Longest Sixes IN Cricket History.

Nowadays, Cricket has become the game of power. Due to the start of T20 Cricket, players try hit more sixes as much as possible. Cricketers has become very powerful and fit so they are able to hit long sixes.

In this post we are going to see a list of top 5 longest sixes in international cricket.

#5  Simon O'Donnell, MCG 1993 - 122 meters

This happened during a first-class game in Australia. In a Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and New South Wales in 1993, Simon O'Donnell hit Greg Matthews for a huge six that travelled to the third tier of the Great Southern Stand at Melbourne Cricket Ground. It was one of the longest ever hits in Australian grounds and it went more than 120 meters. A monstrous hit!          

                         #4  Albie Morkel, IPL 2008 - 125 meters.

                         

        

                                       Arguably the biggest ever hit in the Indian Premier League. In a game between Chennai Super Kings and Deccan Chargers during the inaugural edition of the tournament, Pragyan Ojha bowled a nicely flighted delivery on Albie Morkel's legs and the South African struck it over the mid-wicket region for a huge six that went out of the Chepauk stadium. It went a long distance and ended up at 124 meters.

           #3 Martin Guptill, Wellington 2012 - 127 meters

                                            

               The Kiwi opener is one of the most       destructive players in world cricket at the moment with more than 250 sixes in limited-overs cricket for New Zealand. Regarded a lot for his exception six hitting abilities, Martin Guptill hit one of the longest sixes in T20 cricket at Westpac Stadium in Wellington against South Africa. He dismissed a Lonwabo Tsotsobe delivery for a massive six that travelled 127 meters over the midwicket boundary.

                                                            

                           #2 Aiden Blizzard, WACA 2008 - 130 meters

                              

                                            Though he hasn't played for Australia, Blizzard is a dangerous cricketer in the Australian T20 circuit. Known for his big swing and powerful shots, Aiden Blizzard's colossal six came against Western Australia back in January 2008. Playing for Victorian Bushrangers at the WACA in a T20 final, Aiden Blizzard hit a left-arm seamer for a six over the square leg boundary that travelled 130 meters.

                                        #1 Brett Lee, Gabba 2005 - 130 to 135 meters

                                                                                                     

An unexpected candidate takes the top spot for the longest six hit ever in cricket. When everyone was expecting names like Chris Gayle or Shahid Afridi, Brett Lee takes the glory. The Australian speedster struck Darren Powell for a massive six in a 2005 Test match at the Gabba. It went really long and landed in the parking area. It was a monstrous hit and the ball travelled nearly 135 meters.
