Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) joined three other teams by smashing over 100 sixes in the battle for most sixes by a team in IPL 2024 during the 9-wicket thumping win over Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Sunday (April 28).

Will Jacks, who smashed a 41-ball century, dominated the six-hitting charts for RCB with 10 maximums, while Virat Kohli (70* off 44 balls) and Faf Du Plessis (24 off 12 balls) hit 3 sixes each to seal the run chase of 201 in 16 overs.

Earlier, one of the lowest six hitters this season, GT also added to their tally, but remained in the bottom of the most sixes by a team in IPL 2024 list. Shahrukh Khan (58 off 30) and Sai Sudharsan (84* off 49) hit 5 and 4 sixes each respectively.

David Miller also hit one six, but GT could still not cross 50 sixes for the season and remained last, while RCB with 106 sixes moved to second in the list.

The ongoing season has seen close to 850 sixes being struck in 45 matches, projecting to a possible breach in the total sixes for an IPL season with more than 25 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 (SRH), the leaders, crossed a century of sixes, while Delhi Capitals (DC) and Mumbai Indians (MI) also passed the milestone. Here is a look at the most sixes scored by a team in IPL 2024 after GT vs RCB IPL 2024 Match 45:
