IPL 2017: 5 players with most sixes in IPL history

#1 Chris Gayle

Will anyone ever come close to Gayle’s incredible record

251 sixes in 91 matches

If you are one of the unfortunate few, who has never seen Chris Gayle in full flow or have any idea as to the kind of player that he is, the title of his autobiography tells you all that you need to know about the most destructive opener that the format has ever seen.

When you title your autobiography as "Six Machine", a title which apart from cheeky is also true that tells you everything about the man who wields his willow like a weapon of mass destruction sending the poor balls to their grave. His jaw-dropping numbers in not just T20s but in the IPL as well makes one wonder if it is even a fair fight.

Despite being the only player on this list to have played fewer than 100 IPL matches, he is the only one to have scored more than 200 sixes, the only one to average well in excess of 2 sixes per game and hit a staggering 44% of his runs in sixes.
