The cricket carnival is set to shift from bilateral series to the marquee event as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is about to commence. After a wait of 8 long years, the ICC tournament is back with a bang.
The top 8 teams will battle against each other for the ultimate championship. Fans can expect plenty of balls sailing into the stands, making the Champions Trophy a six-hitting carnival, given the aggressive brand of cricket being played today.
In this article, we highlight three Indian batters who are likely to hit the most sixes in the upcoming Champions Trophy:
1. Rohit Sharma
Indian skipper “Ro Superhit Sharma” is one of the greatest batsmen in white-ball cricket. When in form, Rohit can tear apart any bowling attack in the world. The kind of intent and form he displayed in the 2023 World Cup was extraordinary. If he carries that momentum into the upcoming ICC event, Team India could have one of their best tournaments.
Rohit already has 331 sixes in ODI cricket, and with his ability to clear any ground, fans can expect many more balls traveling into the stands. In 2023, Rohit Sharma hit 67 sixes—the most by any batsman.
