TOP SIX-HITTERS IN IPL HISTORY

The players whose monstrous hitting built their teams' six tallies — the legends of the long ball.

1
RCB / PBKS / KKR · West Indies
CHRIS GAYLE
357
Career IPL Sixes

The "Universe Boss." All-time IPL six record. 59 sixes in IPL 2012, 17 in one innings (175* vs Pune). Hits a six every 7 balls faced — a rate that remains "almost inhuman."

2
Mumbai Indians · India
ROHIT SHARMA
302+
Career IPL Sixes

MI's greatest ever. 302+ sixes across 240+ IPL matches. His hitting style is elegantly effortless — the "Hitman" earns every six. 6 sixes in IPL 2026's early rounds already.

3
KKR / DC · West Indies
ANDRE RUSSELL
223+
Career IPL Sixes

The most efficient six-hitter — 223 sixes in 140 matches. A six every 6.8 balls. His 52 sixes in 2019 (2nd all-time single season) and match-turning 88* off 36 balls vs RCB are legendary.

4
Mumbai Indians · West Indies
KIERON POLLARD
223
Career IPL Sixes

Pollard and Russell are tied at 223 sixes, but Pollard needed 49 more matches. MI's finishing weapon for 12 seasons, his one-handed sixes and improvised hits were part of MI's five title wins.

5
RCB · South Africa
AB DE VILLIERS
200+
Career IPL Sixes

The "Mr. 360" — no bowler was safe from any angle. Alongside Gayle at RCB, AB helped form cricket's most explosive batting partnership. His 113* off 52 balls vs Gujurat in 2016 had 12 sixes.

6
MI → PBKS · India (2026 Star)
VAIBHAV SOORYAVANSHI
37+
IPL 2026 Sixes (9 games)

The IPL 2026 sensation. In just 9 games, 37 sixes and 400 runs. His century vs SRH in 36 balls included 12 sixes, breaking domestic records. The youngest player chasing Gayle's season record.

WHY MUMBAI INDIANS LEAD ALL-TIME

Mumbai Indians' dominance in the all-time sixes chart is no accident. They have played the most matches of any IPL franchise since 2008 — giving more opportunity to accumulate sixes. But more importantly, their squad building philosophy has always prioritised power hitters who can clear boundaries.

From Rohit Sharma's elegance to Kieron Pollard's muscle, from Hardik Pandya's explosive hitting to Suryakumar Yadav's 360-degree artistry — MI has consistently held the most devastating batting roster of any IPL side. Their five IPL titles (2013, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020) are built on a foundation of aggressive batting that translates into sixes.

The second-placed Royal Challengers Bengaluru have perhaps produced the most spectacular individual six-hitting performances — Chris Gayle's 17 in one innings, AB de Villiers' impossible angles, and the explosive partnership that made Chinnaswamy Stadium a six-hitting paradise. RCB's close second tells the story of entertainment over efficiency.

💡 Key Insight: If you look at sixes-per-match rather than raw totals, Lucknow Super Giants (~7.5/match) lead all teams in the modern era — a reflection of the Impact Player rule era and their power-packed squad. This shows how the game has evolved since 2022.

SRH'S 178-SIX SEASON — HOW IT HAPPENED

Sunrisers Hyderabad's record-breaking 2024 season deserves its own chapter. Their 178 sixes in 16 matches wasn't just a record — it was a redefinition of aggressive T20 batting philosophy that the world is still adapting to.

The engine room was their top order: Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma as the most destructive powerplay pair in IPL history. Head's left-handed aggression and Abhishek's fearless sweep shots turned the first 6 overs into carnage. They were backed by Heinrich Klaasen, one of the cleanest strikers of the cricket ball, and Aiden Markram's composed brilliance.

Their 287/3 against RCB on April 15, 2024 remains the highest team total in IPL history, featuring 22 sixes in that single innings alone. The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium's flat pitches that year were a perfect storm for batting excellence.

IPL 2026 — WHO'S HITTING THE MOST?

IPL 2026 is already on pace to challenge the records set in 2025. The season-opening weeks delivered extraordinary six-hitting performances. Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has emerged as the breakout star — with 37 sixes in just 9 games, he's on pace to challenge Chris Gayle's legendary single-season record of 59.

His century vs Sunrisers Hyderabad in 36 deliveries with 12 sixes in that innings broke domestic records and announced the arrival of a generational talent. At his age, Sooryavanshi's combination of timing, power, and fearlessness is unprecedented in Indian cricket.

From a team perspective, Punjab Kings and RCB have been the most explosive sides in the 2026 season's early stages, with both sides regularly posting totals above 200 — a direct result of their power-packed top orders.

❓ FAQ

IPL SIXES — EVERY QUESTION ANSWERED

16 detailed FAQs covering all-time records, season stats, player records & 2026

They are followed by Royal Challengers Bengaluru (~1,725) and Punjab Kings (~1,591). MI's lead is built on having elite power-hitters like Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Hardik Pandya, and Suryakumar Yadav across multiple eras of IPL cricket.

Who has hit the most sixes in IPL history?▼
Chris Gayle holds the all-time IPL six record with 357 sixes, followed by Rohit Sharma (302+) and Andre Russell & Kieron Pollard (223 each). Gayle's lead is extraordinary — 55 sixes ahead of Rohit who played 130+ more matches. Gayle hit a six approximately every 7 balls he faced in IPL, a rate that remains almost inhuman in the history of the tournament.
What is the record for most sixes in a single IPL innings?▼
Chris Gayle holds the record for most sixes in a single IPL innings with 17 sixes, scored during his legendary 175* off 66 balls against Pune Warriors India on April 23, 2013. That innings also held the record for the highest individual T20 score at the time and featured the fastest T20 century (off 30 balls). RCB's total that night was 263/5.
How many total sixes were hit in IPL 2025?▼
IPL 2025 set an all-time record with 1,294 total sixes across 73 matches, averaging 17.72 sixes per match — the highest average in IPL history. This broke the 2024 record of 1,260 sixes. The IPL started with just 622 sixes in 2008. The exponential growth is driven by the Impact Player rule, flatter pitches, bigger bats, and a new generation of fearless power-hitters.
Why do Mumbai Indians have the most sixes overall?▼
Mumbai Indians lead because of three factors: (1) They have played the most matches of any franchise since IPL's inception in 2008, (2) Their squad-building philosophy has consistently prioritised elite power-hitters — Rohit Sharma, Pollard, Hardik Pandya, SKY, Tim David, and (3) Their five IPL title runs were often powered by explosive batting. Their Wankhede Stadium home also has shorter straight boundaries that encourage big hitting.
What is the most sixes hit in any IPL match?▼
The record for most sixes in a single IPL match is 42 sixes in the KKR vs Punjab Kings match in 2024 at Eden Gardens. Punjab Kings chased down 262 runs — the highest successful T20 run chase in history. Both teams combined to hit 42 maximums, shattering the previous record of 38 set earlier in the same 2024 season. KKR scored 261/6 and PBKS chased it down on the last ball.
How many sixes has RCB hit all-time?▼
Royal Challengers Bengaluru have hit approximately 1,725 sixes in IPL history — second only to Mumbai Indians. Despite never winning the title until 2025, RCB produced some of the most spectacular batting in IPL history. Chris Gayle's time at RCB (2011–2017) added over 200 sixes alone. RCB's all-time season record is 165 sixes in IPL 2024.
Which team hits most sixes per match in 2026?▼
In the modern era (2022–2026), Lucknow Super Giants have the highest sixes-per-match average (~7.5) of any IPL franchise — reflecting their explosive modern batting with players like Nicholas Pooran and Mitchell Stoinis. However, SRH in 2024 and Punjab Kings in 2026 have also been extraordinary. The Impact Player rule since 2023 has dramatically increased sixes-per-match across all teams.
Who is the top six-hitter in IPL 2026?▼
In IPL 2026, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi has been the most explosive six-hitter with 37 sixes in just 9 matches. He scored a century vs SRH in just 36 deliveries, hitting 12 sixes in that innings and breaking domestic records. At his rate, he is chasing Chris Gayle's legendary single-season record of 59 sixes. Other notable 2026 six-hitters include Ryan Rickelton and Rohit Sharma.
Has any team hit 200 sixes in a single IPL season?▼
No team has yet hit 200 sixes in a single IPL season. SRH's 178 in 2024 is the current record. Given the trajectory — 1,294 total sixes in 2025 vs 872 in 2018 — it is possible a team reaches 200 in the near future, especially with the Impact Player rule maximising batting depth. IPL 2026 is already on pace to challenge 2025's total season record.
What was the highest team score with most sixes in IPL?▼
The highest team score in IPL history is 287/3 by Sunrisers Hyderabad vs RCB on April 15, 2024 at Chinnaswamy Stadium. That innings featured 22 sixes — also among the most in any single innings. RCB responded with 262/7 (chasing 288), making it the highest-scoring IPL match ever, with both teams combining for 42 boundaries and 30+ sixes between them.
Which IPL player hit most sixes in a single season?▼
Chris Gayle holds the record with 59 sixes in IPL 2012 while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore. He scored 733 runs that season. The second-highest single-season tally is Andre Russell's 52 sixes in IPL 2019 for KKR. Both Gayle and Russell are the only players to have hit 50+ sixes in a single IPL season. In 2026, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (37 in 9 games) is chasing this record.
How have total IPL sixes per season grown over time?▼
The growth is dramatic: 622 sixes in 2008 → 872 in 2018 → 1,062 in 2022 → 1,260 in 2024 → 1,294 in 2025. That's more than double in 17 years. Key drivers: flatter pitches, better bats, T20 specialisation, Impact Player rule (2023+), and a new generation of fearless batters who prioritise maximums over run rotation from ball one.
Can I bet on IPL sixes markets at Winkaro888?▼
Yes! Winkaro888 offers all major IPL betting markets including: total sixes in a match (over/under), top six-hitter of the match, powerplay sixes over/under, team sixes in an innings, and much more.

Why does SRH hit so many sixes despite being a newer team?▼
Sunrisers Hyderabad historically were a more restrained batting side, but their 2024 transformation was radical. New coaching philosophy prioritised attacking batting at all positions. Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma as openers were revolutionary. Heinrich Klaasen, ranked among the best T20 finishers globally, added devastating lower-order hitting. Their 178-six 2024 season reset the benchmark for what aggressive T20 batting looks like.
