IPL Stats: Top 5 records by Royal Challengers Bangalore in the history of IPL

#4. Most Sixes by a team in the IPL - 1038 Sixes

AB de Villiers

The combination of explosive batsmen and the Chinnaswamy Stadium is the perfect recipe to produce mammoth sixes. The Bangalore ground has shorter boundaries and being situated at a higher altitude, the ball keeps sailing. Taking advantage of the home conditions, the Royal Challengers Bangalore team leads the all-time sixes tally by quite a margin.

In eleven seasons of the IPL until now, RCB batsmen have cleared the fence on 1038 instances. Their most productive year was 2016 where they lofted as many as 142 sixes. Virat Kohli smashed 38 sixes while scoring record 973 runs in a single season. AB de Villiers provided valuable support with 37 maximums in the season.

No other IPL team has yet crossed the tally 1000 sixes in the IPL. RCB’s closest competitor is Mumbai Indians. Their batsmen have struck 968 sixes in the T20 tournament. CSK is third on the list with 884 sixes despite playing only nine seasons.
