Longest six in cricket history
7. Yuvraj Singh – 119 meters (India vs Australia, 2007)
Yuvraj Singh, one of India’s greatest limited-overs cricketers, is famous for his six-hitting ability. In the 2007 T20 World Cup, Yuvraj smashed a 119-meter six against Australia during the semi-final match. This six came off Brett Lee’s bowling and sailed over deep mid-wicket.
Yuvraj’s power-hitting played a crucial role in India’s victory over Australia, helping them reach the final, where they eventually won the inaugural T20 World Cup. Yuvraj’s 119-meter six is still remembered as one of the highlights of his illustrious career.
8. MS Dhoni – 118 meters (India vs New Zealand, 2009)
Former Indian captain MS Dhoni was known for his calm demeanor and his ability to finish matches with massive sixes. One of Dhoni’s longest sixes came in an ODI match against New Zealand in 2009, where he hit a 118-meter six. This shot was a trademark Dhoni hit, clearing the ropes with ease and landing deep into the stands.
Dhoni’s leadership and finishing abilities made him one of the greatest captains in cricket history, and his six-hitting prowess was a key part of his game.
