Historically, this number has changed over time, starting with four balls to an over, then growing to five in 1889 and to the modern six in 1900.
Sporadically throughout the 20th century, eight-ball over had been trialed, but the practice was eventually abandoned, and as of 2000, the Laws of Cricket specify a six-ball over.
