IPL: 5 batsmen with the most sixes in the tournament

#2 AB de Villiers - 212 sixes

AB de Villiers is better known as Mr.360

Former South African batsman, AB de Villiers has made a name for himself playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in IPL. The right-handed batsman has played for two IPL franchises in the last 12 years. He made his IPL debut as a part of Delhi Daredevils in 2008. The wicket-keeper batsman had a disastrous outing in 2008 as he could only score 95 runs in the tournament at a strike rate of 96.93.

He then worked on his batting style and enjoyed huge success in IPL 2009, which was played in his home country. De Villiers recorded his first IPL hundred in that season besides striking 12 maximums. However, his form dipped when the tourney returned to India in 2010. His disappointing performances led to his exit from the Delhi team.

Royal Challengers Bangalore snapped him up at the auction next and he became a completely different player after joining the Bangalore-based franchise. With the addition of some new shots in his arsenal, AB de Villiers hit boundaries with supreme ease. After slamming just 13 sixes in the first three seasons, the Proteas player whacked 199 sixes in the next nine editions to secure the second position in this list.

His best season came in the year 2016 when the former South African captain smacked 37 balls out of the park.
