Most Sixes in ODI Innings

Most Sixes in ODI Innings is the definitive benchmark of a batter's raw explosive power and aerial dominance, representing the ultimate dismantling of a bowling attack. This world record is held by England’s Eoin Morgan.
During the 2019 World Cup match against Afghanistan, Morgan delivered a masterclass in power-hitting, smashing a record-breaking 17 sixes in a single innings. This feat surpassed the previous joint record of 16 held by Rohit Sharma, Chris Gayle, and AB de Villiers. As of 2026, while the modern game is increasingly defined by high-intensity striking from players like Glenn Maxwell and Heinrich Klaasen, Morgan’s tally of 17 remains the gold standard of offensive efficiency. This statistic is more than a display of brute force; it signifies a tactical shift where elite batters can fundamentally alter the trajectory of a 50-over game through a sustained barrage of boundary-clearing shots.
