1. Babar Hayat (Hong Kong) – 13 Sixes

Babar Hayat may not play for a Test-playing nation, but he knows how to hit it big, just like rising stars featured in Top 10 Emerging Young Cricketers to Watch in 2025. Hayat has scored 274 runs in six innings for Hong Kong, with a maximum of 122. His 13 sixes was remarkable and put him right up near the top of the charts.

3. Najibullah Zadran (Afghanistan) – 13 Sixes

A second Afghanistan player who made the cut, Najibullah Zadran also hit 13 sixes in the tournament. Najibullah has generally batted in the middle order, but is a guy who is noted for his ability to come in an finish games with some quick runs. He is also one of Afghanistan’s more reliable hitters during these tough moments considering he can hit sixes at will.

5. Virat Kohli (India) – 11 Sixes

Virat Kohli may not be thought of as a big six-hitter in the same vain as Rohit, but he is in the top 10 with 11 sixes to date. And he has the statistics to back it up, making 429 runs in T20s of Asia Cups at an average of 85.80. His unbeaten 122 is arguably the best innings in the history of the tournament.
