IPL 2025: List of Sixes Hit by Nicholas Pooran in Every Match, Leads Chart with 31 Maximums in Just 6 Games

"Every time Pooran walks in, fireworks are guaranteed." This line, spoken by an awestruck commentator during the Lucknow Super Giants' win over Gujarat Titans, sums up IPL 2025's most electrifying performer.

As the 18th edition of the Indian Premier League lights up stadiums across India, one name continues to soar higher than any ball he's sent sailing over the ropes - Nicholas Pooran.

IPL 2025 Nicholas Pooran Hits Sixes in Every Match Leads Chart with 24 Maximums in Just 5 Games

In just 25 matches, IPL 2025 has already produced a staggering 450 sixes, and leading this barrage of big hits is none other than Pooran, who has cleared the boundary an astonishing 24 times in five innings. For fans of fireworks, the Caribbean star has delivered a six in every single game so far - and more often than not, many more.

Pooran Power: Caribbean Calypso in LSG Colours

It’s no secret why the Lucknow Super Giants retained Nicholas Pooran for a hefty Rs 21 crore. The 29-year-old left-hander has turned into a living highlight reel, often leaving bowlers stunned and fans delirious. 288 runs at a strike rate of 225 and an average of 72 — those numbers read like something out of a video game.

“Pooran’s bat swings like a sword, and every swing sends the ball to the moon,” tweeted one ecstatic LSG fan after the batter launched two match-winning sixes in a row against Royal Challengers Bangalore. Against Gujarat Titans, his ability to find the stands even from good deliveries showed just how locked-in he is.

LSG’s Other Six-Hitting Weapon: Mitchell Marsh

Nicholas Pooran isn’t alone in LSG’s six-hitting brigade. Mitchell Marsh, the Australian veteran and powerful opener, is hot on his teammate’s heels. With 15 sixes in just five innings, Marsh has provided blazing starts, making LSG a nightmare for opposing bowlers.

His standout performance? An 81-run blitz off 48 balls against KKR that included four huge sixes. That knock not only won them the match but also ensured LSG’s early dominance in the tournament standings.

Shreyas Iyer’s Firestarter Debut with PBKS

It wasn’t just LSG lighting up the charts. Shreyas Iyer, donning the red of Punjab Kings for the first time, has been nothing short of a revelation. In four innings, he’s already blasted 14 sixes, including a jaw-dropping nine maximums in a single innings during his unbeaten 97 off 42 balls.

Leading from the front, Iyer has amassed 168 runs at an average of 84, giving PBKS a massive shot in the arm. For a team still searching for its first IPL title, Iyer’s clean striking and calm leadership have ignited hope.

Ajinkya Rahane’s Renaissance with KKR

Who would’ve predicted that Ajinkya Rahane, the classical Test stalwart, would find a second life as a six-hitter? But that’s precisely what the veteran has done for KKR, with 13 sixes in six games. His innings of 61 against LSG and a composed unbeaten 20 versus CSK displayed his newfound flair.

While KKR may have stumbled early in the campaign, Rahane’s willow continues to sing — and sing loud.

Aniket Verma: SRH’s New Six Machine

Youngsters, too, are making their mark. SRH’s Aniket Verma, just 23 years old, has been a revelation. With 12 sixes in five matches, the Uttar Pradesh lad is showing a fearless brand of cricket. His 74 off 41 against Delhi Capitals, punctuated by six mighty sixes, made headlines even in a losing cause.

SRH might still be looking for rhythm, but in Aniket, they’ve found a gem for the future — one that doesn’t hesitate to go aerial early and often.

Bat Dominates Ball: A Tournament of Maximums

The IPL has always been a theatre for drama and daring, but this year, it’s reaching new altitudes — quite literally. With 450 sixes in just 25 matches, IPL 2025 is well on its way to smashing all previous records.

Whether it’s a veteran like Marsh, a reinvigorated star like Rahane, or a young daredevil like Aniket, the theme is clear — the bowlers are under siege, and the crowds love every minute of it.
