Bowlers getting smashed for big sixes is inevitable in T20 games, especially on pitches favouring the batters. A batter with the capability to clear the fence can turn the game on its head at any moment.
We are witnessing a trend where women cricketers are also using the aerial route effectively to accumulate quick runs. And it’s pretty much on display in India’s Women’s Premier League (WPL), as batters have shown an affinity for sending the ball high and long.
In this article, we’ll look at the top 10 batters with the most sixes in WPL history.
| Player | Innings | Sixes |
|---|---|---|
| Shafali Verma | 37 | 53 |
| Richa Ghosh | 33 | 41 |
