Longest six in cricket history
3. Martin Guptill – 127 meters (New Zealand vs South Africa, 2012)
New Zealand’s Martin Guptill is another player who has hit a massive six that left cricket fans speechless. During a T20 match against South Africa in 2012, Guptill smashed a 127-meter six off Lonwabo Tsotsobe. The ball was hit so cleanly that it flew over the midwicket boundary and hit the roof of the Westpac Stadium in Wellington.
Guptill’s powerful hitting helped New Zealand chase down South Africa’s total with ease, and his unbeaten 78 off 55 balls guided his team to a comfortable victory. This incredible six is still talked about as one of the longest and most memorable in cricket history.
4. Liam Livingstone – 122 meters (England vs Pakistan, 2021)
In a T20 International against Pakistan in 2021, England’s Liam Livingstone hit a monstrous 122-meter six off Haris Rauf. Known for his aggressive batting, Livingstone struck the first ball of the 16th over straight over the bowler’s head, clearing the roof at Headingley and landing the ball on a nearby rugby pitch.
Livingstone’s power-hitting helped England post a formidable total of 200 runs, which proved too much for Pakistan as England won the match by 45 runs. Livingstone’s 122-meter six is one of the biggest hits in recent years and solidified his reputation as a dangerous T20 batsman.
