Ingram Smashing Records & Sixes In T20 Cricket

1 Aug 2016 | Cricket
Glamorgan\'s Colin Ingram remains top of the charts when it comes to hitting sixes in the 2016 NatWest T20 Blast, with 29 maximums in his 13 innings this season.

Ingram – whose 55-ball century versus Essex Eagles on Friday night was yet another display of his T20 talents – has amassed 489 runs in the competition so far.

He currently sits fifth on the overall run-scorers' chart, behind Gloucestershire pair Michael Klinger and Ian Cockbian, Birmingham Bears skipper Ian Bell and Surrey's England star Jason Roy.

Ingram leads the way in terms of clearing the ropes however. He's blasted 29 sixes, which is six ahead of the next best, Dan Christian of Nottinghamshire. Essex hitman Ashar Zaidi has smashed 22 maximums, while Sussex's Ross Taylor hit 17.

The 31-year-old Ingram will be a key player for Glamorgan when they host Yorkshire in the T20 Blast quarter-final at The SSE SWALEC on Thursday August 11. His strike rate of 166.43 is third only to Notts skipper Christian and Zaidi.
