Who is the hardest hitter of the damn cricket ball - Dhoni or Symonds ? I know Hayden & Gayle are also there but boy! these two guys hit it like a rocket. I saw in the last match, Dhoni sent the ball to the boundary in just 2.66 seconds. Without any doubt, Dhoni & Symonds are the two must hard hitting batsmen in world cricket today. It's hard to choose bewtween the two so i will let you decide who is the hardest hitter The straight boundary at sector 16 stadium is about 76m (according to a cricket commentator) which is quite big. Dhoni & Symond's hits were flying to the boundary in no time. Dhoni hits at nearly 30 meters per second which is damn quick Dear Poisonivy, i don't think that Dhoni is anything less than Symonds in the batting department. Yes overall,Symonds is more valuable because of his bowling abilities but Dhoni can match any hitter in the batting department. I have seen him scoring runs against good bowling line ups. Symonds & Dhoni are very much like each other. Their style of batting is different but it 'WORKS' almost everytime
