Q12. How critical are the sixes in T20 cricket?

The T20 format is the shortest format of cricket, and therefore, a huge role is contributed by sixes in negotiating the target as soon as possible. Otherwise known, they are there to put some pressure on the opponents by accumulating quick runs.

A team can win by wickets; say, for instance, it becomes successful at chasing the score set by others and further with some wickets remaining. Suppose the team needed to chase a score of 250 runs. They made 250 runs at the loss of 3 wickets—they won by 7 wickets.

A bowler can't bowl a nine ball. It is illegal delivery. Even if in case a batsman hits a six on a nine ball, he would be credited with a six run lesson. A wicket could never fall when the bowler delivers a nine ball except on a run out.

It also aids in its fame: records like Yuvraj Singh hitting six sixes in an over against England during the 2007 T20 World Cup or Chris Gayle hitting the maximum number of sixes in T20 Internationals.
