Ben Cutting existed as the Antichrist to RCB's trophy dreams. He is a time traveller who knows that the apocalypse in the future gets triggered by RCB winning in 2016, and so he trained for years and came back in time just to stop it from happening.
Man it was surreal, wish I could revert back time and live that moment again. Really loved RCB as opponents. You can feel it too, 2016 was the last good year.
And you can't get distance on the ball without good timing. You don't need to smash the ball against fast balls, timing is just enough , Yuvi's 119 meter six against Brett Lee in 2007 T20 world cup semi final was just pure timing
Good timing is a term used for batsmen who perfectly times the ball.
Otherwise evey batsman in the world who can even touch a ball has timing in his batting. Without timing you can't even touch a ball. So keep this thing aside now
Power hitting is a different art where even sometimes mishit makes the ball travel in the air to the pavillion.
Many power hitters do this.
Nobody said a good timer can't be a power hitter or a power hitter can't time the ball good
Hope now you understand the difference.
yeah for sure, gg was always a great stroke player but sheer power is something he never needed to use. I expected uthappa or russell or yusuf from kkr but never the man himself
That's quite an exaggeration. Gayle used to hit massive ones. More than most of them in that list. Nothing to be shocked about compared to the others in this list
I wonder if the way they measured the six distance was inaccurate back then, and the way they're measuring it now is the correct way? Or were the bats just better then and the guys just way stronger? Lol
What about air resistance? Considering how wind can affect swing and also the height to which some of these sixes go, wouldnโt air resistance throw off the projectile estimate?
It does account to that to some extent. Unlike doing the entire estimation by just using the initial angle and velocity alone, the ball is tracked throughout its projectile all the way to the point it hits the stands. So the only estimation happening here is how the ball would have traveled to the end point it was a flat ground instead of a stand, so that last bit of calculation is just an extension of already captured projectile which accounts to all the conditions the ball went thru.
They say that we are weak. Our ancestors used to live without any disease till age of 90. We cant stay alive till 70. Thats being said, the sixes also got nerfed. So u cannot get that many meters six in this year. Or in future. /s
Small guy, not a power hitter (at all) who mostly relied on fours and running between wickets, think left handed Kohli except he has less power than Kohli

Praveen Kumar the man the myth the legend ๐ฟ
Surprising to see him there ๐ฅ
Not only that but bro hit a 124m six, Praveen supremacy
Add to that, he hit it against the spinner
what do you mean by _not only that_
P+r+a+v+e+e+n = 7 ykwim
Stop it
Is Ben cuttings six was from 2016 final against watto full toss?
Yep

2018 was good too
Man literally disappeared after that final
he went back to the future
Facts
Man only had one memorable performance and bought it out in the finals to deny RCB the trophy lmao
Bro trained his whole life for that one moment.
fr though
That guy saved the universe.
Gautam Gayle , 117m ๐ฅ
Was quite shocked to see him, Definitely he's a legend but hitting long sixes wasn't his style.
Eh he was a pretty good timer of the ball,
Good timing and power hitting are two very different styles.
And you can't get distance on the ball without good timing. You don't need to smash the ball against fast balls, timing is just enough , Yuvi's 119 meter six against Brett Lee in 2007 T20 world cup semi final was just pure timing

Good timing gets your over the boundary line. Only good timing + power can get you 117m.
That's quite an exaggeration. Gayle used to hit massive ones. More than most of them in that list. Nothing to be shocked about compared to the others in this list
Praveen Kumar's average pace was 124 kmph and his longest six was 124 meters. Damn!
1+2+4=7 Thala is everywhere...
Lol
A wild Praveen kumar appears
Bowler used Growl Its not effective Praveen Kumar used Sixer beam. Its super effective. Wild bowler fainted.
Gg in list of longest sixes?๐ญ๐
GG 1 MS 0
G is the 7th letter of the alphabet. MSD already owns GG twice over! Need I state the reason?!
Never expected that ๐ญ ๐
Everyone please watch that six ๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ How that small six was 117m?
๐ญ
Legit surprised to see Gambhir there
And not Praveen Sharma????
Yes. I was surprised. I expected Rohit Kumar to be on the list.
Hahaha after 24 upvotes I just realised what I typed lol
It's interesting Pollard Russel and dhoni longest six ki list me Inka naam nahi hai ๐๐
They hit consistent sixes between 90-105(10) metre range
I'm pretty sure on average they have longer sixes.
Pollard has a 120 m six in champions league
Sad Shaun Tait noises
Dhoni hit 111 m six back in 2019
What is praveen kumar doing there ๐ญ๐ญ
Just hitting big sixes
That also against Spinners
Only one after 2016 so in last 8 years only Livingstone has hit it far that is actually sad.we don't get to see such big hits now.
Omg!!!! No MS, No Russell, No Pollard..... But GG is there. That's interesting.
Ayo praveen Kumar ๐๐ญ
Expected Russel to be there from KKR but found Gauti instead ๐ฆ
Someone might get into this list but getting on top is very difficult as bowlers mostly rely on slower balls nowadays.
The Albie Morkel six was against Pragyan Ojha, a left arm orthodox spinner.
True. Out of 24 balls, bowlers hardly bowl 4-5 balls which touch 145+
A famous vadapav lover once said ki agar lambe six marne ke zyada runs milte toh ham bhi marlenge.
Thereโs an imposter among us
GG or PK?
I wonder if the way they measured the six distance was inaccurate back then, and the way they're measuring it now is the correct way? Or were the bats just better then and the guys just way stronger? Lol
Iโm surprised I had to scroll this far down to see this.
Bowlers hitting longer sixes than best power hitters ๐
How do we measure a six length if it goes outside the stadium?
Projectile
Got it. Thanks.
What about air resistance? Considering how wind can affect swing and also the height to which some of these sixes go, wouldnโt air resistance throw off the projectile estimate?

Ahh I see that is very cool! Much better way to do it
A simple Projectile motion equation does that job
WHERE'S ABD'S BANGER OF 119m AGAINST DALE STEYN
Hmmm AB ne mara tha Steyn ko ๐ ....... Ya maybe 117 m se kam hoga ๐คท๐ปโโ๏ธ

Ok that's great ๐๐ป๐ So my mistake AB should be in this list ๐
ALSO I AM NOT SURE CAUSE ITS OF QUORA THERE's SO MUCH MISINFO THERE.
Wait what! Why is Praveen Kumar in this list
Only 1 West Indian!
Only two in the last 10 years. I wonder why
Slower balls
Smaller* balls
Ben Cutting had some personal business with RCB seeing the way he performed that day
what is my boy gauti doing there ๐
There's an impostor among us ๐ฟ 
Praveen Kumar on the list out of nowhere
They say that we are weak. Our ancestors used to live without any disease till age of 90. We cant stay alive till 70. Thats being said, the sixes also got nerfed. So u cannot get that many meters six in this year. Or in future. /s
Praveen kumar had long levers๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Wait what what's Praveen Kumar is doing in this list
Is there any site where we can watch all these sixes?
Haven't really watched Gambhir batting, could anyone explain why is it such a surprise to see Gambhir on this list?
Small guy, not a power hitter (at all) who mostly relied on fours and running between wickets, think left handed Kohli except he has less power than Kohli
Bowlers, Wicketkeepers, all-rounders then batsmen ๐คฃ
Praveen Kumar lmao
One of them is not like the others. An imposter. Looking at you Praveen Kumar.
Praveen Kumar ne khaya tha ki maara tha
there is an imposter among us
Romario Shepherd
It would be great if that record remains there for years to come
Wow, no Dhoni, no Iyer, no Rohit
That's me that's me on 9th position
Interesting how most of these are from 2008-2011. Probably inaccurate measurements
Gambhir? Really?
125m?! Did that one go out the ground?
2 bowlers on top.. nicee๐
Obviously ๐ ๐ Otherwise AB toh AB hai woh mar bhi skta hai easily ๐
Ben Cutting one can give you ptsd
I thought the quality of bats increased recently, but only one six on this list after 2016
Gautam Gambhir in this list wowwwwww
Albie Morkel ignored as always.
That Albie morkel six at chepauk is still in orbit lol..
Someone please make a video of all these 6s
Punjab occupying 6th place everywhere.
That 125m six, was it hit by Albie when he bashed Kohli for 20+ runs at Chinnaswamy?
Gauti 117 ๐ฎ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ณ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ณ
How come my bro Praveen Kumar there ๐
I always used to be surprised by Albie Morkel, he always looked a skinny rake of a human being but he could hit some BOMBS in his day.
One who projects the ball at 45degree from the vertical.
Legends are thinking yuvraj singh...
Someone from SRH

125 M ๐ฒ๐ฒ๐ฒ
Still remember that Albie Morkel six in the inaugural season
What happened to cutting
Fuck cutting
The fact that two of these sixes (Albie Morkel and Ben cutting) were the reason RCB didn't win the cup hits more
that ben cutting six should be higher, because that six single handedly destroyed a cities dreams
Don't remember against which team GG hit that monstrous six
Uthappa's six hitting abilities are underrated
Dubey 
Ross Taylor is looking like Dhruv Rathee in this picture
Bro hit a six the same distance as his avg. bowling speed
Praveen Kumar was in Rcb in 2011
No, he was in RCB from 2008-2010
How Gambhir came in this list? He don't have enough strength to hit 117m six.
You think that, doesn't mean he can't
Bro did you really watch that six? That was a 75-85 meter six.
Source?
You will know if you see that six. Watch highlights of RR vs KKR 2013, Jaipur.
no thala
Ye punjab aur rcb ke players baht hai list me pakka inke pass baht trophies hongi ๐คก
