Shahid Afridi
The run machine of the Pakistan Cricket team, Shahid Afridi comes first on the list of batters with the Most sixes in Asia Cup History. Towering sixes, massive scores & rampage with the bat are what the former Pakistan Captain is known for. The prolific player hasn’t learned the art of scoring runs cautiously as throughout his career he has believed in blasting all cylinders right from the first ball he faced. Afridi has maintained the same persona in the Asia Cup as he is the batter who has registered the highest number of maximums in the tournament. Featuring in Asia Cup editions from 1997-2014, Afridi has created his own mark by smashing 26 sixes in 23 fixtures including 532 runs at a staggering strike rate of 140.74. He also holds the unique record of smashing consecutive sixes off R Ashwin’s bowling in the Semi-final of Asia Cup 2014 & has guided his team to a memorable win. He is truly the ‘King of Asia Cup Sixes’ as no one to date can breach his record of most sixes in the tournament.
