Known globally for their power-hitting brand of cricket, the two-time T20 World Cup champions crossed the 2,000-sixes threshold through contributions from legendary power-hitters like Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, and Nicholas Pooran.

Propelled by prolific boundary hitters such as Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, and Virat Kohli, the Indian cricket team is rapidly closing the gap to reach the 2,000-six mark in T20I cricket.
