Chris Lynn (Brisbane Heat)
Matches: 77
Sixes: 146 (Rank 1)
Balls per six: 10.6 (Rank 5)
% of runs in sixes: 37.6 (Rank 6)
The most prolific six-hitter in BBL history by a significant margin, Chris Lynn and clearing the rope go hand in hand. The Brisbane Heat basher averages almost two sixes per game and his total number of sixes (146) is a staggering 63 more than any other player in the competition's history. His high-risk style may not come off on every single occasion, but when it does, the fans in the crowd need to be on high alert.
Chris Gayle (Sydney Thunder, Melbourne Renegades)
Matches: 22
Sixes: 51 (Rank 18)
Balls per six: 9.4 (Rank 2)
% of runs in sixes: 47.1 (Rank 1)
As has been the case throughout his long career, Chris Gayle's time in the BBL was nothing if not entertaining. In two stints in the competition, almost half of the Jamaican's 649 runs came in sixes, the best ratio in the competition's history. The powerful left-hander, who during his time with the Renegades equalled the world record for the fastest T20 fifty (12 balls) cleared the rope every 9.4 deliveries he faced and was a nightmare for any bowler.
