We have real difficulty in finding men that can hit big sixes , 

Do we ?

 

Indian cricketers who can or could  hit big 6s

 

Current - Dhoni, Yuvraj, Hardik, Rohit, Rahul, Pant, Yusuf Pathan, are all big 6 hitters..... even Jadeja, Murlli Vijay, Shami,  Axar, Krunal, Samson, Negi are good

 

Retired - Kapil, Patil, Kirti Azad, Shastri,  Bedade, Ganguly, Sidhu

 

We could have had a lot more in the olden days but playing lofted shots was discouraged in Indian cricket before T20s became popular

The issue was about the ability of Indian players regarding hitting big sixes. 

 

" Past their prime "  and " fearsome batsmen " issues are not relevant here.

 

Moreover, Rahul is one of the bigger 6 hitters we have and it is well proved.

This list has

 

3 from India

2 from Australia

2 from WI

2 from South Africa

No one from NZ, England, SL, Bangladesh and SL

 

Gayle features twice

 

It does not prove our lack of 6 hitting prowess

Most current Indian Batsmen can hit sixes. Even Rahane who isn't considered a six hitter can hit sixes.

All that bit about women's cricket being a rung below men's might be true but the ease with which kaur plundered those sixes on tha ground having 80 metre boundary against Australia might still be a wet dream for many club cricketers.

Those were 50-60 Meter boundaries, not 80. Ropes were pulled in. Boundaries in woman cricket can't exceed 60 Meter that is the guideline put by ICC.

Still big enough for many club cricketers.

Is this a valid comparison to start with ?

 

Comparison should be between Women Cricket Teams not between Mens Vs Womens as the physiology and the whole concept is different..........

 

What we should compare is at what level Indian Womens cricket team is and the forecast of the team for the next 10 years and etc..........

 

 

This is my humble opinion.....

Not really. Even U17 boys can hit bigger sixes. Likes of Pant, Kishan 17-18 year old boys were hitting 80-90 meter sixes.
