IPL 2017: 5 players with most sixes in IPL history

#2 Rohit Sharma

163 sixes in 142 matches

At the start of his IPL career, Rohit Sharma was the daredevil in charge of high-profile heists which few deemed possible. As a care-free middle-order batsman, he caressed and elegantly flicked the ball past the boundary and sometimes into the crowd for a maximum.

For certain players, hitting a boundary involves so much effort but one look at Rohit and you'd think that depositing international fast bowlers into the stands was almost as easy as swatting a fly for him. And ever since he moved to the Mumbai Indians and also started opening the innings, he has had more time to showcase his skills.

That explains why he holds the record for most sixes by an Indian batsman in IPL. One that he shows no signs of relinquishing for any length of time given his recent form in the tournament.
