Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been a festival of power-hitting, with batsmen raining sixes season after season. But have you ever wondered which player has smashed the most sixes in the history of the tournament? If you're thinking of Rohit Sharma, think again! While the Hitman is among the top contenders, he doesn't hold the top spot.

Take look at the top five six-hitters in IPL history, featuring three Indian superstars.

Record breakers: The 5 Batsmen with Most IPL Sixes

1. Chris Gayle – 357 Sixes: When it comes to clearing the boundary, Chris Gayle is in a league of his own. The Universe Boss holds the all-time record for most sixes in IPL history, smashing 357 sixes in just 142 matches. He remains the only player to have crossed both the 300 and 350-sixes mark, proving why he is the ultimate T20 powerhouse.

2. Rohit Sharma – 280 Sixes: At number two is Rohit Sharma, one of the most elegant and destructive openers in IPL history. The former Mumbai Indians captain has launched the ball into the stands 280 times in 257 matches. With IPL 2025 on the horizon, Rohit has a golden opportunity to become just the second player to cross the 300-sixes milestone.

3. Virat Kohli – 272 Sixes: The face of Royal Challengers Bangalore, Virat Kohli, takes third place on this elite list. The batting maestro has smashed 272 sixes in 252 matches and is within touching distance of overtaking Rohit. Notably, Kohli is one of the rare players who has been loyal to a single franchise since the IPL's inception.

4. MS Dhoni – 252 Sixes: MS Dhoni, one of the most feared six-hitters, comes in at fourth place. Chennai Super Kings legend has cleared the boundary 252 times in 264 matches. Under his captaincy, CSK has lifted the trophy five times. Although he stepped down from leadership, Dhoni remains a crucial part of the squad.

5. AB de Villiers – 251 Sixes: Rounding out the top five is AB de Villiers, aka Mr. 360. Even though he has retired from the IPL, de Villiers' legacy as a six-hitter remains intact. In 184 matches, he smashed 251 sixes, consistently entertaining fans with his breathtaking strokeplay.
