A look at the batsmen who hit the most number of sixes in a single IPL season

2. Chris Gayle (59 Sixes during IPL 2012)

Chris Gayle reached the milestone of 10 000 T20 runs in 2012

If the 2011 edition of the Indian Premier League was a good one for the Universe Boss, the 2012 edition of the tournament was an amazing one. The big-hitting left-hander smashed his way to 59 maximums during the tournament - setting a record which remains intact to this very day.

It was also during this season that Gayle reached the milestone of 10,000 T20 runs - becoming the first man to do so.
