Longest six in cricket history
5. Corey Anderson – 122 meters (New Zealand vs India, 2014)
Corey Anderson, the hard-hitting all-rounder from New Zealand, also features on this list with a 122-meter six against India in 2014. During an ODI match at Napier, Anderson launched a massive six off Mohammed Shami, sending the ball over the square leg boundary and onto the roof of the stadium.
Anderson’s brilliant innings of 68 not-out helped New Zealand post a challenging total of 292 runs, and his six remains one of the longest in ODI history. India couldn’t chase down the target, and Anderson was named Player of the Match for his all-round performance.
6. Mark Waugh – 120 meters (Australia vs New Zealand, 1999)
Australian cricketer Mark Waugh held the record for the longest six for several years. In a Test match against New Zealand in 1999, Waugh hit a 120-meter six off Daniel Vettori at the WACA in Perth. Waugh’s shot sailed straight down the ground and into the stands, cementing his name in the record books.
Known for his elegant batting style, Waugh’s massive six showcased his ability to hit long distances with ease. This six remains one of the longest ever recorded in Test cricket.
