Most Sixes by IPL Teams: DC last in the six-hitting list, CSK on top – Prithvi Shaw, Rishabh Pant, Shimron Hetmyer — all the names in Delhi Capitals’ batting line-up send chills to a bowler’s spine with their sheer power-hitting capabilities. Yet, the Delhi Capitals batsmen are more interested in hitting 4s and not sixes. In fact, Pant & Co have the lowest sixes in IPL 2021 with 54, miles off their nearest rivals Sunrisers Hyderabad. But their Qualifier 1 opponent MS Dhoni’s Chennai Super Kings have continued the reputation, smacking the highest number of sixes, almost the double of DC, with 100.
In fact, Rishabh Pant & Co have the second-lowest boundary percentage in IPL 2021 as well with just 54%. In 14 matches, DC have scored 2,180 runs and only 1172 runs came off boundaries while Chennai Super Kings have the highest with 1,412 runs with a percentage of about 60.

IPL 2021: Why DC not amongst top six-hitters?
- Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan are the two highest contributors to DC’s runs with over 800 runs.
- Both of them have relied on boundaries rather than sixes.
- DC have played mostly on slower wickets where hitting sixes have been difficult.
- Rishabh Pant too hasn’t had his six-hitting arms on display this time. In playing responsibly, he has not gone for the big sixes much this time.
- Shimron Hetmyer too has had to rely on groundstrokes rather than the big ones to stay on the crease for longer.
- In fact, compared to IPL 2020, there have been the least number of boundaries in IPL 2021.
- In IPL 2020, there were 1582 fours and 734 sixes.
- In IPL 2021, with four matches to go, there has been 1460 fours and 641 sixes.
