Chennai: This year’s IPL season has made history. This season has the most number of sixes in the IPL with four matches to go. History was made just as the league phase ended. So far 1066 sixes have been hit in IPL. Remember there are still four matches left.
Most sixes were hit in last year’s IPL. 1062 sixes were hit in that IPL. It was also the year when the number of teams was increased to ten. The 2018 season is in third place. There have been 872 sixes in IPL. 784 sixes were hit in the 2019 season. The 2020 season followed closely behind with 734 sixes.
Seasons 731 (2012), 714 (2014), 705 (2017), 692 (2015), and 687 (2021) rank sixth through tenth, respectively. Meanwhile, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s Faf du Plessis tops the list of players who have hit the most number of sixes. Faf hit 36 sixes in 14 matches. Faf is likely to surpass the feat as he has no matches left.
