The sight of watching a batsman step out and belting the white ball all over the park is spine-chilling. The likes of Chris Gayle, Andre Russell, Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, etc, have been doing the same throughout the past 16 seasons of the IPL.
West Indies legend batter Chris Gayle holds the record of hitting the most sixes in IPL history and by some distance. The Universe Boss hammered 357 sixes during his decorated career. For context, the next best is Rohit Sharma with 257 maximums.
The RCB legend racked up more than 50 sixes in one season on two occasions, with 59 being his best record in IPL 2012.
During his record-smashing 175 not out against now-defunct Pune Warriors India in IPL 2013, Gayle smashed 17 sixes, which is the most by any batter in IPL and has yet to be surpassed or equalized.
Former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma is second on the list with 261 sixes - the most by an Indian batter in the cash-rich league.
The legendary AB de Villiers is placed third on the list of most sixes hit by a batter in IPL. The former South African batter has pummeled 251 sixes in 184 matches.
Legendary Indian batter Virat Kohli is in the fourth spot. The leading run-scorer in IPL history, Virat, has hammered 241 maximums in his 240-match career thus far. Virat also holds the record for most sixes struck by a batter for a single team.
Chennai Super Kings talisman MS Dhoni has walloped 239 maximums from his willow in the last 16 seasons, and it will be interesting to see if the five-time IPL-winning captain manages to breach the 250 mark this time around.
