Fewest innings to 100 T20I sixes
Arguably the most demanding format in world cricket is the T20. In this rapid and action-packed format, batters need to be at their best levels to display their lethal hitting exploits and must be able to deposit the ball into the stands. Hitting maximums on a regular basis can be quite a task on the world stage, however, a few top-quality batters have done it on a consistent basis. Moreover, there have been a few who have breached the triple-digit mark of 100 T20I sixes in fewer innings. On that note, we delve into the top three batters who got to 100 T20I sixes in the fewest innings-
3. Colin Munro | 57 innings
The Durban-born New Zealand batter Colin Munro finds himself in the third spot as he slammed 100 T20I maximums in just 57 innings. The southpaw has featured in 65 matches, scoring 1724 runs which includes 11 fifties and three centuries. In addition to this, Munro has accumulated a total of 107 sixes in his appearances thus far in the T20Is.
2. Chris Gayle, Suryakumar Yadav | 49 innings
The former West Indies batter made a massive reputation as an explosive hitter of the ball. With this, Gayle has numerous records and has attained multiple milestones in his account, one of which includes the joint second-fastest to attain the triple-digit mark in maximums as he got them in 49 innings. Scoring 1899 runs in 79 matches, Gayle has 124 sixes under his belt in the shortest format.
Likewise, India swashbuckling right-hander Suryakumar Yadav’s exquisite shot-playing has earned him a truckload of runs. In the process, the batter reached 100 T20I sixes in 49 innings donning the Men in Blue outfit. Suryakumar has collected 1841 runs in 53 T20I appearances, lacing it with 104 sixes thus far.
