Most sixes in IPL 2024: Which Player Has Finished The Season With Highest Maximums in Every Edition?

Most sixes in IPL 2024: Sunrisers Hyderabad batting star Abhishek Sharma finished the IPL 2024 season with most number of sixes. The southpaw sent the ball flying over the boundary ropes 42 times in 16 matches. His SRH teammate Heinrich Klaasen and Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Virat Kohli finished second with 38 sixes each.

Virat Kohli played a match less than Abhishek and Klaasen, who featured in the IPL 2024 final between Sunrisers Hyderabad and Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Sunday, May 26. However, the SRH duo did not hit a single six in the summit clash.
