Cricket, ett spel känt för sin blandning av strategi och atleticism, blir ofta elektrifierad av en av dess mest spännande aspekter – de sex. Under årens lopp har många sexor etsat in i sportens folklore, men ett fåtal sticker ut för sin avstånd. Titeln på "den längsta sexan i crickethistorien" diskuteras ofta, med flera spelare som hävdar monumentala träffar.
En av de mest berömda sexorna slogs av den tidigare pakistanska cricketspelaren Shahid Afridi, som under en ODI-match mot Sydafrika 2013 sköt en boll 158 meter in i publiken. Denna enorma hit på Johannesburgs Wanderers Stadium nämns ofta som en av de längsta sexorna någonsin i internationell cricket, vilket cementerar Afridis rykte som en förödande powerhitter.
