#2 M.A.Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai - Chennai Super Kings

The home ground of the most consistent team of the IPL. That says it all why this ground is at the second place. Not that much smaller boundaries but still there is no stopping the Super Kings who have had some of the most clean hitters of the ball in the IPL over the years.

The Super Kings’ den has seen 437 IPL sixes, thanks to MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina and not to forget the Australian duo of Mattew Hayden, Michael Hussey and South Africa’s Albie Morkel.

#1 M.Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore - Royal Challengers Bangalore

With smaller boundaries and a home team that boards the likes of Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers will always provide raining sixes and it has been no different with Royal Challengers Bangalore. With the batting sensation Virat Kohli already with them and the aggressive Yuvraj Singh joining them this season, expect the record to continue in future years.

The stadium has seen awhopping 509 sixes.
