One word to think of when it comes to Caribbean Premier League (CPL) cricket — entertainment. Towering crowds, exuberant music, and above all, monster sixes. Every season the CPL throws up fresh six-hitting records, and the 2026 season has reshuffled the all-time list in a big way. Here’s the fully updated list of the most sixes in CPL history, including a new name at the very top.
Most Sixes in CPL History (Updated 2026)
| Player | Sixes | Span | Teams |
| Kieron Pollard | 232 | 2013-2026 | (BT/STARS/TKR) |
| Evin Lewis | 218 | 2014-2026 | (ABF/RedSt/STKNP) |
| Nicholas Pooran | 209 | 2013-2026 | (BT/GAW/RedSt/TKR) |
| Andre Russell | 178 | 2013-2026 | (JAK/JT/TKR) |
| Johnson Charles | 176 | 2013-2026 | (AHwks/BR/BT/JT/SLK/STARS/STKNP/ZOUKS) |
Just outside the top 5: Chris Gayle (172 sixes, retired 2021), Andre Fletcher (165), and Rovman Powell (149).
Kieron Pollard – 232 Sixes (New CPL Six-Hitting King)
Kieron Pollard has now overtaken Evin Lewis to become the all-time leading six-hitter in CPL history. Across 139 matches for Trinbago Knight Riders, Pollard has smashed 232 sixes at a strike rate of 152.13, with 3,236 runs in total. Still a dominant finisher deep into 2026, Pollard’s power-hitting in the death overs remains one of the most feared sights in the tournament.
Evin Lewis – 218 Sixes
Evin Lewis drops to second on the all-time list but remains the most destructive opener the CPL has seen. With 218 sixes from 117 matches for St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, Lewis continues to give teams fast starts, striking at 140.13 whenever he gets going.
Nicholas Pooran – 209 Sixes
Nicholas Pooran’s quick bat speed and fearless strokeplay keep pushing him up the all-time six-hitting charts. He has now struck 209 sixes across stints with Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders, and boasts the best strike rate (148.90) among the top three.
Andre Russell – 178 Sixes
Andre Russell is the biggest riser in this update, climbing into the top 5 for the first time with 178 sixes. What makes his tally remarkable is efficiency — Russell has needed far fewer balls than anyone else on this list, striking at an incredible 169.46, the best of any player in CPL history with 100+ sixes.
Johnson Charles – 176 Sixes
Johnson Charles rounds out the new top 5 with 176 sixes from 134 matches. A consistent top-order attacker across multiple CPL franchises, Charles continues to set the tone with aggressive starts season after season.
Chris Gayle Drops Out of the Top 5
For years, Chris Gayle’s name sat comfortably inside the CPL’s six-hitting elite. With the tournament having moved well past his 2021 retirement, both Andre Russell and Johnson Charles have now overtaken the “Universe Boss,” pushing his tally of 172 sixes to 6th on the all-time list. It’s a reminder of how quickly records move in a league that’s still adding new seasons every year — even a legendary total needs active players to keep pace.
Other Big Hitters to Watch
Beyond the top 5, players like Andre Fletcher (165 sixes), Rovman Powell (149), and other regular power-hitters continue to add to the CPL’s six-hitting culture. With Pollard, Lewis, Pooran, Russell, and Charles all still active heading into future seasons, the race for the top of this list is far from settled.
Why Sixes Matter in CPL
Sixes can change the course of a match quickly in T20 cricket. While players still play safe in T20, particularly in drafts 1-10, the pitches and conditions in the CPL tend toward an aggressive style. The aggressive big-hitting style is why big hitters are so important. Fans want to see boundaries and big hitters provide just that!
