Power-hitting has been one of the biggest highlights of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026, and several batters have already sent the ball deep into the stands. Among them, India’s Hardik Pandya currently holds the record for the longest six of the tournament.
During the Group Stage match against Namibia at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi on February 13, Pandya smashed a huge 109-meter six, the biggest hit seen so far in the competition.
Hardik Pandya Record-Breaking Hit
The massive six came during the middle overs when Pandya attacked the spinner and cleared the boundary with ease. The strike created a huge buzz inside the stadium and was later confirmed as the longest six of the tournament.
Interestingly, in the same over, Shivam Dube also launched a massive hit, making it a rare moment where two of the longest sixes came in the same match and over.
Pandya’s power-hitting played an important role in India posting a big total and eventually winning the match comfortably.

India Dominate the Power-Hitting Charts
India currently hold the top two spots in the longest sixes list, showing the depth of power hitters in their middle order. The back-to-back big hits from Pandya and Dube against Namibia turned the momentum completely in India’s favour.
The 109-meter strike also equals one of the longest sixes recorded in recent T20 World Cup editions, highlighting Pandya’s clean hitting ability.
The tournament is still in the early stages, with the Super 8 and knockout matches yet to come. As pressure games approach and batters look to dominate, the list of longest sixes could change.
However, for now, Hardik Pandya sits at the top, and his powerful strike remains the benchmark for the tournament.
With flat pitches and aggressive batting approaches, fans can expect more massive sixes as the T20 World Cup 2026 progresses.
