New Zealand batsman Daryl Mitchell has hit the longest six of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.

The ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 has been a high-scoring tournament so far, and fans have enjoyed it pretty well. Teams have consistently scored 300-plus totals, and batters have scored big and fast hundreds. There have been so many sixes hit in this tournament already, and some of them have been very big.

Here we will talk about the longest sixes hit in the ongoing tournament so far. Notably, the tournament has seen over 600 sixes hit so far. And some sixes have been longer than 100 metres. Let's take a look at the longest ones.

Here are the longest sixes in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023:

5. Shreyas Iyer - 101m vs Afghanistan, Delhi:

India defeated Afghanstan by eight wickets in Delhi, and it was Rohit Sharma who smashed a 63-ball ton and hit five sixes. But the biggest six was hit by Shreyas Iyer. He hit only one six off Mujeeb-ur-Rahman on the first ball of the 33rd over, and it was 101 metres long. Iyer made 25 not out in his innings, and India won the game.

4. KL Rahul - 104m vs New Zealand, Mumbai:

In the first semi-final match between India and New Zealand played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, KL Rahul played a quick-fire cameo of 39 runs in just 20 balls. During his innings, KL Rahul smashed five boundaries and two towering sixes. One of his six went for 104 metres.

3. Glenn Maxwell - 104m vs New Zealand, Dharamsala:

The third longest six in the tournament was hit by Glenn Maxwell. He hit it against New Zealand in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 game in Dharamasala. Maxwell had hit two consecutive sixes off Mitchell Santner in the 43rd over, and the first went to the roof and was 104 metres long. Maxwell made a 24-ball 41 in his innings. Australia after a magnificent start from Travis Head and David Warner couldn't capitalize as they ended up getting all-out for 388.

2. Shreyas Iyer - 106m vs Sri Lanka, Mumbai:

Shreyas Iyer is currently at the second spot of the list of longest sixes hit in the tournament. The Indian batter smashed a 106-meter six against Sri Lanka in the group stage match in Mumbai off Kasun Rajitha on the fifth ball of the 36th over, and it went many-a-mile over long off.
