Kolkata Knight Riders moved to fourth in the battle of sixes for a team in IPL 2024 during a 2-wicket loss in a high-scoring game against Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday (April 16).

KKR’s Sunil Narine, the second highest six hitter this season, smashed 6 maximums en route to his maiden century that went in vain after Jos Buttler scored his seventh hundred in IPL, smashing an unbeaten 107 off 60 balls in a knock that included 6 sixes.

The ongoing season has close to 550 sixes being struck in just 31 matches, projecting to a possible breach in the total sixes for an IPL season. The record stands at 1124 sixes in a 74-game season from last year. Buttler also climbed up the list for most sixes in IPL.

KKR made strides in the sixes department this season, but could only hit a total of 9 sixes as they reached 223 in Kolkata on Tuesday (April 16), when RR garnered a total of 12 sixes as they pulled off the joint highest successful run chase.
