T20 World Cup Most Sixes

The T20 format of cricket is regarded around the world as one of the most popular and entertaining formats of cricket. By hitting the ball outside the boundary lines and scoring runs outside of the boundary lines, the power-hitter batters are able to make this shortest format of the game thrilling. In the inaugural season of the T20 World Cup, batsmen like Yuvraj Singh even scored six sixes in a single over of Stuart Broad, which was the highest number of sixes ever struck in a single over on an international stage by a batsman at the time. In the history of the T20 World Cup, Yuvraj Singh is the only batsman to reach this milestone.
I think it would be fair to say that Chris Gayle of the West Indies is the player who hit the most sixes during the T20 World Cup. In the T20 World Cup, he has been hitting the most sixes out of all the players on the field.
In terms of the most sixes scored in the T20 World Cup, here is who follows Gayle in the list of the most sixes scored:

From the 31 innings that he has played in the T20 World Championship, he has hit 63 sixes, making him the most dangerous player in the shortest format of the game. When the T20 World Cup was held in 2007, he scored 117 runs from 57 balls in the first match that the West Indies played against South Africa, helping them to add 205 runs on the scoreboard but they were not able to save the total at the end.
Gayle, despite the fact that Windes lost that match, was named Man of the Match for his eye-catching performance despite Windes losing that match.
