Kieron Pollard became the only second batter to smash 900 sixes in T20 cricket history during the ILT20 match between MI Emirates and Desert Vipers.

Dubai: Former West Indies skipper Kieron Pollard became the only second cricketer to hit 900 sixes in T20 cricket history. He achieved an incredible milestone during the International League T20 clash between MI Emirates and Desert Vipers played at the Dubai International Stadium here on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

Pollard surpassed his compatriot Chris Gayle, renowned as Universe Boss. Pollard now has 901 sixes to his name in T20 cricket, with Gayle standing far away from him with 1056 maximum in his kitty. Pollard completed 900 sixes in his career when he slammed Lockie Ferguson for his second maximum of the day on the first ball of the 19th over. Notably, the top four players with the most sixes in T20 cricket are from the West Indies.

Up, up & way into orbit!
