The Indian Premier League (IPL) is famous for its explosive batting and massive sixes. Fans love watching their favourite players send the ball flying into the stands, and some batters have made a habit of doing it regularly, especially at certain venues. 

With shorter boundaries and flat pitches playing a role, some stadiums have become hotspots for maximums. On that note, let’s take a look at the top 5 players with the most sixes at a single IPL venue.

Former Mumbai Indians’ power hitter Kieron Pollard ranks 5th on the list after hitting 85 sixes at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai. Pollard has been one of MI’s most reliable finishers. His ability to muscle the ball out of the park has helped Mumbai win many crucial matches over the years. When Pollard was in his prime, he used to hit sixes like a child’s play and Wankhede’s short boundaries helped him clear the rope with ease. Overall in his 189-games-long IPL career, Pollard hit 223 sixes.

His timing and clean hitting have made Wankhede a nightmare for bowlers. In his illustrious IPL career, Rohit has hit 286 sixes and counting. Rohit is not just a six-hitter but a smart batter who knows when to take charge, especially during powerplays and the final overs.

Whether it was reverse scoops or helicopter shots, ABD had every trick in the book. Along with Kohli and Gayle, de Villiers formed one of the most dangerous batting line-ups in IPL history, and his six-hitting in Bengaluru was a treat for the fans.

Any list involving sixes is incomplete without ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle. He has 127 sixes at the same venue in Bengaluru, standing second. Gayle is known worldwide for his destructive batting, and when he was with RCB, the Chinnaswamy crowd saw some of the most outrageous sixes in IPL history. His vicious power and his fearless nature made him one of the most feared hitters of the T20 format. Gayle's record also features the record highest IPL score of 175*, which was achieved at this ground.
