There may be only one “Hulk” in Hollywood but when it comes to cricket, many players can be as powerful and as mighty as the “Hulk” when they are hitting the ball with their might.
Many players in the past were considered as powerful hitters of the cricket ball but in recent past, there have been a few ones who have proved to be the strongest.
The introduction and popularity of the Twenty20 cricket, power-plays and flat batting tracks have made life harder for the bowlers. Cricket is more viewed by the public as a batsman’s game in the modern era. Almost all the top teams playing cricket have
at-least one Hulk in the side and when that Hulk gets angry, no one likes him.
On top of the Hulk’s list is the West Indian Chris Gayle. Gayle has shown the world that he is a powerful player. He can hit the ball as hard and as far as any of the cricketers playing the game. The West Indian team has a history of generating some of the
finest cricketers. They have a vast list of players who have been known for their hitting capabilities and Chris Gayle is one of the best in that category.
Sanath Jayasuriya is one of the few hard hitters produced by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758. The ferocious left-hander has manhandled the very best of the bowlers in the world when at his peak. While other teams saw the first fifteen overs of the match as a surviving game, Jayasuriya
had other plans. He used to power his way through the first fifteen overs and take the game away from his opponents. Whether it was a spinner or a fast bowler, Jayasuriya feared no one and treated all with the same might.
What seems to be impossible is done possible by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Shahid-Afridi-c2482 when he starts hitting the ball. He can be considered as he most aggressive batsmen of all in cricket history. He has proved his mettle batting at the top of the order as well as in the middle
order. He is also known as “Boom Boom” Afridi due to his amazing power hitting capabilities.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Virender-Sehwag-c95429 may be short in size but he is definitely not short of power. When he is hitting the ball, no fielder likes the ball to come at him. He is a very exciting cricketer and unlike other hard hitters, he favours the off-side boundary. When Sehwag
hits the ball, it literally stays hit.
The Australian team has also produced some very fine hitters of the cricket ball. One of the very best has been Andrew Symonds. The unique thing about Symonds is that he used to bat in the middle order. Even when all the fielders were positioned on the boundary,
Symonds had a way to beat them all and smash the ball over the boundary repeatedly.
There are players who can send the ball over the boundary with their timing and technique. The hard hitters have their own uniqueness. They can simply muscle the ball out of the ground and make things look ridiculously easy. With their might and their ability
to strike the ball with power, these players can easily be called as the Hulks of modern Cricket.
