IPL 2024: Top 5 longest sixes by Delhi Capitals batters - David Warner's maximum fourth on list

IPL 2024: Indian Premier League is synonymous to sixes. The batting-friendly wickets in India gives a major edge to the batters in a format which already favours them. Just the number of sixes doesn't matter, the distance of it carries the same weight.

The ongoing season of the IPL 2024 has already seen batters hit as many as 487 sixes in 29 matches. Notably, 622 sixes were hit in the inaugural IPL 2008. More than 800 sixes in a season, have been hit only thrice. The IPL 2023 holds the record for most (1124) sixes hit in a season.
