MS Dhoni is undoubtedly among the best finishers ever (iplt20.com)
Hitting sixes is not something that everyone can do with ease. It requires timing, precision, power and will, which makes the ball go a bit longer. Whenever there's a discussion about hitting sixes, Chris Gayle, Yuvraj Singh, Rohit Sharma, MS Dhoni, Andre Russell and a few more names come to everyone's mind. The reason being, that they all have done it with ease and done it often enough to be known as six-hitting machines.
In one of the top competitive leagues, the Indian Premier League, where the magnitude is really high, only a few batters have been able to make the most of their skills and hammer down sixes at will.
In the 20th over of the innings, where the batters try to hit each and every delivery out of the park, only a few could do it successfully and consistently.
