Twenty-twenty cricket is known for its quickness and, therefore, the sixes that are hit in huge numbers. But there are days when batters go past their benchmark and make it rain sixes for fun.

It will be a big challenge for any international batter to overcome Hazratullah Zazai’s record of 16 sixes in an innings. But you will never know with the way the game is proceeding. Also, with the emergence of players like Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav, Liam Livingstone, and Dewald Brewis, it is hard to predict anything when it comes to T20Is.

However, this article will list the batters who have hit more sixes in a T20 international innings. To be precise, we have picked the innings where a batsman has hit 11 or more sixes.
