With its launch in 2008, the Indian Premier League (IPL) has transformed cricket into a spectacle where every ball can decide the outcome of a match. There are plenty of thrills to be had, but the most exhilarating is definitely watching the ball soar over the boundary for a six. These moments not only lift the fans’ spirits but also encapsulate the power, aggression, and pure entertainment that characterize contemporary T20 cricket. The record for the most sixes demonstrates the caliber of the cricket players who have not only played but also dominated the format with their incredible hitting abilities.

IPL has seen some serious power-hitters dominate the scenes right since it’s inception in 2008. There’s some obvious names that comes to mind when we talk about six hitting capabilities and it is not a surprise that ‘Universal Boss’ Chris Gayle leads the six hitting charts of all time. Gayle has hit the most sixes in IPL history, with the Caribbean batter hitting 357 sixes in his IPL career. Present Indian captain Rohit Sharma comes next, but is far behind Chris Gayle with 257 sixes. ‘Mr 360’ AB De Villiers is third on the list with 251 sixes to his name.
