Top 5 players with most sixes in IPL

Here, we will take a look at the top 5 players with most sixes in IPL history.

#5 Yuvraj Singh

Yuvi has never really reproduced the kind of form that has shown in T20 Cricket in India colors. But still the six hitting magic has never eluded him. In just 84 matches, he has hit 110 sixes spread over three franchises. RCB paid a whooping 14 crores to get his services. Even though he wasn’t that successful, he did get a few good scores in the latter part of the tournament.

#4 Yusuf Pathan

Yusuf Pathan, a shadow of what he was four years ago with Rajasthan Royals, has hit 115 sixes from 106 IPL matches in his career, a feat that places him at the 4th spot. Kolkata Knight Riders, a franchise which he represents now, invested a huge sum of money (9 crores approx.) ahead of IPL 4. He has hardly justified their trust in the last 3 years, failing almost every time he took the field in their purple and gold colours, but played some crucial knocks during the end of KKR’s victorius 2014 campaign.

#3 Rohit Sharma

With 126 sixes from 112 matche in his IPL career, Rohit Sharma occupies the third spot. Despite finding his feet in international cricket, of late, Rohit Sharma can't be trusted with entirely while he represents Team India. In IPL, it is a different story altogether. There isn't a role he has not played for the two franchises he has represented, so far: Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians. It is not surprising that he has won the championships with both the outfits.

#2 Suresh Raina

With 136 sixes, Suresh Raina is second on the list. The all-time leading run-scorer of the tournament and the linchpin of Chennai Super Kings (now Gujarat Lions) coming in at number 3, Raina is as good as it can get on the Indian decks. Indian captain MS Dhoni continues to miss a trick by playing him so low down the order for the national team, a decision which hurt the team really bad in the finals of the just-concluded World Cup T20 2016.

#1 Chris Gayle

With 192 sixes in 68 IPL games, Royal Challengers Bangalore opening batsman Chris Gayle has hit the maximum number of sixes in the history of the Indian Premier League. Struggling in his early days on the turning pitches of Kolkata Knight Riders, the move to the flat decks of Chinnaswamy stadium made the trick for the West Indian big-hitter.
