Indian cricket fans have for years turned to Rohit Sharma, the "Hitman," as the nation's undisputed six-hitting monarch. But in the quick-fire world of T20 cricket, new heroes rise fast and one has risen quietly but explosively to the top of India's six-hitting charts.

Meet Abhishek Sharma. Since 2024, the left-handed youngster has overshadowed the big guns and emerged as one of the most feared power-hitters in the T20 game.

Let's have a glance at the leading five six-hitters in T20s since the beginning of 2024:

Most Sixes in T20s Since 2024

A New Indian Powerhouse

Abhishek Sharma's ranking above the likes of Charles and Russell might shock some, but not those who've closely followed him. The young Indian batsman has built a reputation for fearlessness, flair, and ferocious ball-striking without making much noise.

Unlike some of the more established names, Abhishek's emergence is new. He's not a one-season wonder. His sixes are of all shapes pulls, slogs, pick-ups, and even cheeky ramps. His intention is clear: to dominate from ball one.

Where's Rohit?

The fact that Rohit Sharma is missing from the top five speaks volumes. The game is evolving, and so is the generation of players who are driving it forward. Rohit is still a legend, but players like Abhishek are changing the way Indian batters play T20 cricket with aggression in their DNA.

A Sign of India's Future

Abhishek's position alongside six-hitting giants of the world is not a personal achievement it's an indicator of the direction Indian cricket is moving in. The T20 game now requires explosive opening, relentless momentum, and finishers capable of hitting big from the first ball.

India has been on the lookout for match-winning power-hitters at the end of the order for years. With Abhishek coming up, they might have got one and, hopefully, a future match-winner of a T20 World Cup.

In a Caribbean-dominant list of power and South African brawn, Abhishek Sharma has made his mark with Indian panache and aggressive hitting. He is not the Hitman, but he's hitting harder, and more frequently, than anyone could have predicted.
