Playing as a specialist batsman in the MI lineup, Hardik Pandya equalled Pooran in number of sixes hit with 25. He pips the southpaw due to a higher strike rate (178.98), and was one of his team's most important batsmen in the death overs.

Pandya was brutal when bowlers missed their lengths by the slightest of margins, and even though he batted lower down the order, managed to produce a number of match-winning contributions. He faced 157 balls in the tournament and finished second on the Super Striker of the Season leaderboard.


#2 Sanju Samson - 26 sixes in IPL 2020

Sanju Samson may have faded away in IPL 2020 after a brilliant start, but he made great use of the short boundaries in Sharjah early in the season to finish on 26 sixes. The Kerala batsman was often reckless with his shot-making, but when his risks did come off, he was a sight to behold.

Samson scored 375 runs in 14 games at a strike rate of 158.89, and earned call-ups to the Indian limited-overs squads for the upcoming tour of Australia. He will be keen on finding some consistency in the coming games.


#1 Ishan Kishan - 30 sixes in IPL 2020

After missing out on the first two games of MI's victorious IPL 2020 campaign, Ishan Kishan established himself as a mainstay in the batting lineup and finished as the team's leading run-scorer with 516 runs in just 14 games.

The left-hander cleared the boundary on 30 occasions in IPL 2020 despite his slight frame, with 9 of these hits coming in a single innings (joint-highest in a single innings in the tournament) against RCB in his first match of the campaign.

Kishan made a serious case to be called up to the Indian team, and we might see him get a crack in the limited-overs formats soon.
