The ICC T20 World Cup 2026, co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka, has turned into a festival of power-hitting. With 20 teams battling it out, the tournament has already seen hundreds of maximums, keeping fans on the edge of their seats. While legends like Chris Gayle have historically dominated this category, a new generation of "six-machines" is emerging.
As we move into the business end of the tournament, the race for the most sixes is heating up. Here is the definitive Top 20 list of players who have sent the ball sailing into the stands most often in this edition.

Currently, Shimron Hetmyer is leading the six-hitting chart in the T20 World Cup with 17. He has a comfortable lead while Sahibzada Farhan of Pakistan, Ishan Kishan of India are not far away.
The West Indies remain the kings of the long ball. Shimron Hetmyer and Sherfane Rutherford have been clinical in the middle overs, ensuring the Windies remain one of the most feared batting units in the competition.
One of the most exciting trends in 2026 is the emergence of big hitters from Associate teams. Anthony Mosca (Italy) and Sohaib Khan (UAE) have matched the world's best, proving that power-hitting is no longer limited to the "Big Three" nations. Italy, in particular, has surprised many with two players in the top 10 six-hitters list.
As the pitches in India and Sri Lanka continue to favor aggressive batting, expect this list to shuffle quickly. With the Super 8s underway, the boundary ropes are likely to be under constant threat.
Based on the latest match data verified across major sporting outlets, here are the leading power-hitters of the T20 World Cup 2026 on February 23 as West Indies play Zimbabwe.
