Given the fixed number of balls available in limited-overs cricket, it becomes important to make the most out of each delivery.
And there’s no better way of maximising the runs than hitting a six. So teams want their batters to go out and try to smash as many sixes as possible.
Six-hitting becomes more important when teams play in an ICC event. And that’s the reason we have seen teams hitting more sixes in the Champions Trophy.
But which team has smashed the most maximums in this 50-over tournament? Let’s see the top teams with the most sixes in the Champions Trophy below.
