Top 10 Players with most Fours in Cricket career

Players with most fours in cricket career are rather known as the classy players. Instead of the ones regarded as the biggest hitters in cricket world, these players rely on timing and technique. Shahid Afridi, Chris Gayle and many other biggest hitters of the game would find their place very low in the list simply because they are reliant on the power rather on technique. Being a hard hitter does not require anything more than brutal power whereas being able to hit maximum fours needs class. Timing of the shot, choosing the right place for shot and hitting it with precision that all needed for hitting a flawless four – while for a six you simply need guts.

Don’t believe us? Just take a look at the list of players with most fours in cricket career. It starts with the person having a long list of cricket records on his name. The beholder of the longest cricket career justified each and every game he played. The highest runs scorer holds the record of most hundreds in cricket as well. And how a hundred could be completed without hitting a dozen of fours. Yeah that’s right. Sachin Tendulkar was a rare big hitter however his bat used to shower boundaries when he was in full flow. Unfortunately even record books did not have the exact number of fours hit by him. But what is clear is that he still is the highest boundary hitter in all of the cricket.

In total Sachin Tendulkar hit 4076+ fours during his 25 year span of cricket. The little master is followed by Sri Lankan gentleman of cricket Kumar Sangakkara. The Lankan legend hit a total of 3015 fours in all formats of the game. Ricky Ponting, Mahela Jayawardene, Rahul Dravid and Brian Lara are the next to follow in the list whose complete details go as under.
