West Indies batter Shimron Hetmyer set a new record for the most sixes in a single ICC Men's T20 World Cup edition by hitting 19 sixes during the 2026 tournament. He surpassed Pakistan's Sahibzada Farhan, who had 18 sixes. Hetmyer achieved this milestone in a crucial Super 8 match against India at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, where he scored 27 runs off 12 balls. The record follows recent performances by other top six-hitters like Nicholas Pooran and Chris Gayle in previous editions.
