Who Hit the Longest Six in Cricket History?

Shahid Afridi of Pakistan hit the longest six in cricket history. This happened during an ODI match against South Africa in 2013 at the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg. Afridi hit a massive six off the bowling of Robin Peterson, and it was estimated to have traveled a distance of 173 meters. Afridi is known for his power-hitting and has hit several long sixes throughout his career, but this one remains the longest ever hit in the game of cricket.
