Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) moved to second in the battle for most sixes by a team in IPL 2024 during their 4-wicket victory over Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 52 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on Saturday (May 4).

Virat Kohli, the leading run-scorer of the season, smashed 4 sixes, while skipper Faf Du Plessis hit 3 sixes to provide RCB a great start in their chase of 148, which was completed with another maximum by Swapnil Singh after the home side collapsed from 92/0 to 117/6.

Earlier after being put into bat, GT stuttered early, but David Miller hit 2 sixes in their push past 100, while the likes of Shahrukh Khan, Rahul Tewatia and Rashid Khan also hit a maximum each to take the team to a respectable total.

Despite the 5 maximums, GT remained last in the sixes hit as a collective. In fact, they have scored half the number of sixes compared to at least 4 teams, who have also played the same number games this season.

The ongoing season has seen over 900 sixes being struck in 52 matches, projecting to a possible breach in the total sixes for an IPL season with just more than 20 matches left to play this edition. The record stands at 1124 sixes in a 74-game season from last year.

Earlier in the week, Sunrisers Hyderabad stretched their lead at the top, while Kolkata Knight Riders crossed the century mark in the battle of the sixes by a team. Here is a look at the most sixes scored by a team in IPL 2024 after RCB vs GT IPL 2024 Match 52:
