The skill of six-hitting has come a long way. From dancing down the pitch and slog down the ground for six, modern players have found various ways to hit the balls out of the ground. The switch hits, the hook shots, and everything that’s part of the 360-degree players’ notebook of shots makes the bowler think twice before bowling any line.
Especially in T20s and particularly IPL, where the world-class power-hitters take part, sixes come in bigger numbers. With the new addition of impact player rule in the 2023 edition, the tournament has seen batters playing freely with an extra batter in the side; thereby, the scoring rates have gone high, meaning the number of sixes has gone high.
