Hitting sixes is the quickest way to score runs in cricket and there are some players who have a penchant for plundering the ball to record distances.

While just smacking the ball directly outside the boundary line is considered a six, there have been numerous instances where players utilise all their muscles to send the ball deep into the stands or sometimes outside the stadium.
