According to the famous ex-cricketer Kevin Peterson, hitting sixes is about confidence and knowing your tools. One needs to work hard and practice range hitting. "Hitting sixes is all that any batsman grooves and constantly works for. One needs to get the power and be strong" said David Miller to Betway.
It is very important to pick the right ball to send it across the boundary.
As India’s hitman, Rohit Sharma puts it, “Hitting sixes is not easy, trust me. It comes from lots of practice and hard work. Nothing is easy in cricket when you watch it on TV, it may look simple.”
"You don't need just big muscles or power to hit sixes," Rohit explained to Chahal. "You need timing and you need to hit it from the middle, your head should be still, your body needs to be in the right position. When you take care of these things on a good wicket, you will be able to hit sixes."
The best way to do this is through trial and error using numerous techniques and find out the one which is best for them.
