In a world where over the best sixes are celebrated, cover drives and straight drives still stay alluring. Boundaries are a welcome expansion for a side independent of the format. And hitters who can hit boundaries at will, stand out from the rest. Over the years, endless cricketers have come and gone but only a number can claim to be a portion of that elite league. With that being said, here’s a list of the top five players with the foremost fours in T20 Internationals.
