After becoming the first batsman to smash 800 fours in the tournament, Kohli has achieved another elite milestone – he has crossed 300 sixes in the IPL. With 303 sixes to his name, the RCB stalwart is now the third player in the league’s history to cross the 300-mark.Kohli thus joins an exclusive club with two of the most devastating batsmen the league has seen – Chris Gayle and Rohit Sharma. Gayle, who has represented franchises like Kolkata Knight Riders, Punjab Kings (formerly Kings XI Punjab) and RCB, sits comfortably at the top with a staggering 357 sixes from 142 matches. Close behind him is Rohit Sharma, former captain of Deccan Chargers and Mumbai Indians, who has smashed 310 sixes in 276 matches. Kohli, who has been synonymous with RCB since 2008, now stands alongside the giants with 303 sixes from 274 matches, besides being the highest run-scorer in IPL history with 8,989 runs.While the trio make up the 300-plus club, several other big names feature prominently in the six-hit charts. MS Dhoni, who led Chennai Super Kings and Rising Pune Supergiant, hit 264 sixes, known for his finishing skills. South Africa’s AB de Villiers (251 sixes for Delhi and RCB) brought innovation and a 360 degree stroke play to the league.Among the active players, David Warner (236 sixes), Sanju Samson (234) and Andre Russell (223) continue to dominate the attack, while Kieron Pollard also finished with 223 maximums in a decorated Mumbai Indians career. Representing multiple franchises, KL Rahul added 218 sixes with his classy yet powerful approach.Most sixes in the Indian Premier LeaguePlayerSpanMatRuns6sChris Gayle (KKR/KXIP/PBKS/RCB)2009–20211424965357Rohit Sharma (DCH/MI)2008–20262767183310Virat Kohli (RCB)2008–2026274*8989303MS Dhoni (CSK/RPS)2008–20252785439264AB de Villiers (DC/RCB)2008–20211845162251David Warner (DC/SRH)2009–20241846565236Sanju Samson (CSK/DC/RR)2013–20261844997234Andre Russell (DC/KKR)2012–20251402651223Kieron Pollard (MI)2010–20221893412223KL Rahul (DC/KXIP/LSG/PBKS/RCB/SRH)2013–20261515427218
