When it comes to hitting towering sixes in IPL history, one name stands above all—Chris Gayle. The former West Indies superstar holds the record for the most sixes in IPL, earning him the title of the ‘Sixer King.’ However, several Indian cricketers have also dominated the charts. Let’s take a look at the top five six-hitters in IPL history.

1. Chris Gayle – 357 Sixes

Chris Gayle leads the list with a staggering 357 sixes in just 142 IPL matches. The explosive left-hander has played for multiple franchises, including Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR), Punjab Kings (PBKS), and Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). His powerful batting and ability to clear boundaries with ease make him the undisputed Sixer King of IPL.

2. Rohit Sharma – 280 Sixes

Nicknamed the ‘Hitman,’ Rohit Sharma sits at second place with 280 sixes in 257 IPL matches. The Mumbai Indians (MI) captain has been a consistent performer over the years. Before joining MI, he was also a part of the now-defunct Deccan Chargers.

3. Virat Kohli – 272 Sixes

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) star batsman Virat Kohli has smashed 272 sixes in 252 IPL matches. Having been with RCB since the very first season in 2008, Kohli has established himself as one of the league’s most dominant batters.

4. MS Dhoni – 252 Sixes

Chennai Super Kings (CSK) legend MS Dhoni ranks fourth on the list with 252 sixes in 264 IPL matches. The former Indian captain has been a crucial part of CSK’s success, apart from playing two seasons for Rising Pune Supergiant during CSK’s suspension.
