Arsenal vs Everton Prediction: Who will Win Premier League Match Today?
The Indian Premier League has long been synonymous with explosive batting and towering sixes. Over the years, several power-hitters have thrilled fans with their ability to clear the boundary consistently.
At the top of the all-time six-hitting charts is West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who holds the record for the most sixes in IPL history.
Gayle smashed a staggering 357 sixes in 141 innings during his IPL career while representing Kolkata Knight Riders, Royal Challengers Bengaluru and Punjab Kings. His incredible power-hitting ability made him one of the most feared T20 batters in the world.
The former RCB superstar also holds the records for the most sixes in a single IPL season and the most sixes in a single innings.

Chris Gayle's dominance in IPL power-hitting
Gayle's reputation as one of the most destructive batters in T20 cricket is reflected in his IPL records.
He holds the record for the most sixes in a single IPL season after smashing 59 maximums in 2013. That same season also featured his legendary innings of 175* for Royal Challengers Bengaluru against Pune Warriors India, which included 17 sixes - the most in a single IPL innings.
Interestingly, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru witnessed a significant portion of Gayle's six-hitting exploits, with the Caribbean star hitting over 120 sixes at the venue.
Active players chasing the record
Among active cricketers, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli lead the six-hitting charts.
Rohit currently sits second on the all-time list with more than 300 IPL sixes, while Kohli is close behind in third place. Both players continue to feature in the tournament and could add further to their tallies in upcoming seasons.
With IPL 2026 set to begin soon, the race among active players to close the gap on Gayle's iconic six-hitting record will remain one of the most exciting storylines in the tournament.
