4. Hardik Pandya - 126 Sixes

Hardik Pandya has been India’s go-to death-overs enforcer for years. Batting lower down the order, he has cleared the ropes 126 times while also contributing with the ball. His ability to finish games under pressure and his key roles in the 2024 and 2026 World Cup-winning campaigns make his six-hitting especially valuable. (Pic credit: IANS)

3. Abhishek Sharma - 143 Sixes

Abhishek Sharma has exploded onto the scene. The left-handed opener has smashed 143 sixes in only 67 innings at an extraordinary strike rate. He is the fastest Indian to 100 T20I sixes by balls faced and holds the record for most sixes in a single T20I innings for India (13). At this rate, he is the clear candidate to eventually challenge the all-time leaders. (Pic credit: IANS)

With 179 sixes in 107 innings, Suryakumar has registered sixes at a frequency of approximately one every 11 deliveries, relentlessly tracking Rohit's long-standing tally.
