40 Sixes
It was Jayasurya from Srilanka had hit 11 sixes in one ODI Innings and later on Afridi from Pakistan had 11 sixes against Srilanks in 1996. I hope, the question is not about "most sixes in an ODI", but is about most sixes in ODI. As on 16-Mar-2011, it is Shahid Afridi (Pakistan) who hit 289 sixes so far! He is followed by Sanath Jayasuria (Sri Lanka)---270 sixes and Sachin Tendulkar (India)---193 sixes.
