Top 10 Biggest Six-Hitters in PSL History
These are the batters who have cleared the rope the most times in PSL cricket across all seasons.
| Rank | Player | Team | Matches | Runs | Sixes | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fakhar Zaman | Lahore Qalandars | 97 | 2964 | 128 | 142.02 |
| 2 | Asif Ali | Lahore Qalandars | 91 | 1243 | 94 | 156.94 |
| 3 | Rilee Rossouw | Quetta Gladiators | 95 | 2287 | 92 | 146.22 |
| 4 | Kamran Akmal | Peshawar Zalmi | 75 | 1972 | 89 | 136.94 |
| 5 | Shoaib Malik | Quetta Gladiators | 93 | 2350 | 82 | 127.78 |
| 6 | Shane Watson | Quetta Gladiators | 46 | 1361 | 81 | 138.59 |
| 7 | Colin Munro | Islamabad United | 54 | 1633 | 78 | 149.81 |
| 8 | Kieron Pollard | Karachi Kings | 53 | 1149 | 77 | 162.28 |
| 9 | Shadab Khan | Islamabad United | 94 | 1413 | 75 | 141.15 |
| 10 | Sharjeel Khan | Karachi Kings | 49 | 1127 | 74 | 140.00 |
Fakhar Zaman leads comfortably with 128 sixes, sitting 34 ahead of second-placed Asif Ali. What makes Fakhar’s record extra special is that he scores these sixes as an opener, consistently taking on the new ball from ball one rather than coming in as a designated finisher.
Fakhar Zaman, the Six-Hitting King of PSL
How Fakhar Became the Greatest Six-Hitter in PSL History
Fakhar Zaman did not build his six-hitting record through brute strength alone. His record comes from playing 97 PSL matches at the top of the order for Lahore Qalandars and consistently choosing to attack from the very first over. His natural left-handed swing over the leg side and his ability to loft drives down the ground have given him access to every part of the ground.
Across his 97 matches, Fakhar has scored 2964 runs at a strike rate of 142.02, which means his six-hitting comes within the context of a batter who also scores properly and builds innings. He is not just a slogger. He is a complete opening batter who happens to also be the biggest six-hitter PSL has ever seen.
Fakhar Is 36 Sixes Clear of Second Place
The gap between Fakhar Zaman and Asif Ali in second place is 34 sixes. That is not a small margin. That is almost an entire season’s worth of sixes for most batters on this list. His record looks set to grow further in PSL 2026 unless injury or a poor run of form gets in the way.
Asif Ali, the Most Feared Finisher in PSL Six-Hitting History
Asif Ali sits in second place with 94 sixes from 91 matches and his story on this list is completely different from Fakhar’s. While Fakhar builds big innings from the top, Asif comes in specifically to clear the boundary in the final overs. His role as a finisher means almost every six he hits comes under extreme pressure with fielders on the rope.
His strike rate of 156.94 across his PSL career tells you that he scores at close to one and a half runs per ball, and 94 of his scoring shots have been maximums. For a batter who averages just 21.07, the volume of sixes is extraordinary and reflects just how destructive he is in those final three to four overs.
Most Sixes by Pakistani Batters in PSL
Pakistani power-hitters dominate this list. Here is a dedicated look at how local batters rank on the all-time PSL sixes leaderboard.
| Player | Team | Sixes | Matches | Runs | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fakhar Zaman | Lahore Qalandars | 128 | 97 | 2964 | 142.02 |
| Asif Ali | Lahore Qalandars | 94 | 91 | 1243 | 156.94 |
| Kamran Akmal | Peshawar Zalmi | 89 | 75 | 1972 | 136.94 |
| Shoaib Malik | Quetta Gladiators | 82 | 93 | 2350 | 127.78 |
| Shadab Khan | Islamabad United | 75 | 94 | 1413 | 141.15 |
| Sharjeel Khan | Karachi Kings | 74 | 49 | 1127 | 140.00 |
| Azam Khan | Islamabad United | 66 | 61 | 1206 | 143.40 |
| Mohammad Rizwan | Multan Sultans | 72 | 93 | 2770 | 128.95 |
Kamran Akmal in third place among Pakistani batters with 89 sixes is a name that often gets overlooked in these conversations. His aggressive opening style for Peshawar Zalmi produced some of PSL’s most entertaining early-innings hitting and his three PSL centuries all came with significant six counts inside them.
Sharjeel Khan deserves special recognition. His 74 sixes from just 49 matches gives him one of the best sixes-per-match ratios on this entire list. His two PSL centuries both contained huge six counts and his short but explosive PSL career packed enormous entertainment value into relatively few appearances.
Most Sixes by Overseas Batters in PSL
Overseas players have provided some of the most memorable six-hitting displays in PSL history. Here is how the top overseas six-hitters compare.
| Player | Country | Sixes | Matches | Strike Rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Rilee Rossouw | South Africa | 92 | 95 | 146.22 |
| Shane Watson | Australia | 81 | 46 | 138.59 |
| Colin Munro | New Zealand | 78 | 54 | 149.81 |
| Kieron Pollard | West Indies | 77 | 53 | 162.28 |
| Jason Roy | England | 44 | 38 | 146.51 |
| Tim David | Singapore | 43 | 22 | 179.52 |
Rilee Rossouw leads all overseas batters with 92 sixes across 95 PSL matches. His ability to hit the ball enormous distances from both sides of the wicket made him one of the most dangerous batters in PSL history. Three PSL centuries with aggressive six counts in each prove this was not just cameo hitting but sustained power-batting over full innings.
Tim David stands out for a completely different reason. His 43 sixes in just 22 matches gives him the best sixes-per-match ratio among any batter with 40 or more sixes on this list. His 179.52 strike rate and 43.21 average show that he was essentially combining maximum hitting with actual batting quality in a way very few T20 players in history have managed.
Shadab Khan, the Biggest Six-Hitter Among Lower-Order Batters
Shadab Khan appearing at number 9 on this list with 75 sixes from 94 matches is one of the most remarkable stories buried inside these statistics. Shadab bats in the lower-middle order for Islamabad United and yet his career six count places him ahead of some of the most celebrated opening batters and top-order hitters in PSL history.
His 75 sixes contribute to a career strike rate of 141.15 which is exceptionally high for a player who often bats at six or seven. Shadab has repeatedly shown the ability to change a match completely in the final overs and his six-hitting record in PSL is a direct reflection of that match-winning lower-order value.
Which PSL Franchise Has Produced the Most Six-Hitters
| Team | Players With 50-Plus Sixes | Total Sixes by Top 3 |
|---|---|---|
| Islamabad United | 5 | Munro 78, Shadab 75, Azam Khan 66 |
| Quetta Gladiators | 5 | Rossouw 92, Watson 81, Hafeez 66 |
| Lahore Qalandars | 3 | Fakhar 128, Asif Ali 94, Babar 65 |
| Peshawar Zalmi | 3 | Kamran 89, Saim 50, Sammy 44 |
| Karachi Kings | 3 | Pollard 77, Sharjeel 74, Khushdil 49 |
| Multan Sultans | 2 | Rizwan 72, Iftikhar 56 |
Lahore Qalandars may have only three players in the 50-plus sixes category but the sheer volume Fakhar Zaman and Asif Ali have produced makes them the most six-heavy franchise in PSL history. Their combined 222 sixes from just two players is more than the entire top-three combined totals of some other franchises.
