Virat Kohli
The man who is always looking to improve himself, even after being the best in the business, changed a lot of things about himself this year. One of them was his ability to hit sixes at will, as Kohli rediscovered himself as a T20 batter and hit a total of 38 maximums in the season.
Heinrich Klaasen
One of the cleanest hitters of the cricket ball and the most improved batter in international cricket in the past two years, Heinrich Klaasen, continued his prime form and scored 479 runs in IPL 2024 with the help of 38 sixes.
Nicholas Pooran
The left-handed explosive West Indian batter, Nicholas Pooran, had a tournament to remember as he was one of the very few positives for LSG this time around. Pooran hit 36 sixes in the tournament and proved himself once again as the best finisher currently in world cricket.
