Hitting sixes throughout the inning is one and finishing a tight game by hitting sixes is another. Finishing a game is a very tough task since the batter has to keep a check on the run rate and keep himself calm while doing the job.
Short formats are the formats where games generally go down to the wire and that's why teams specifically need a finisher, who can hold his nerve and smack sixes at will.
