IPL 2017: Top 5 big-hitting teams this year

#3 Kolkata Knight Riders

Overall, it is Robin Uthappa who leads KKR with 57 boundaries

Kolkata Knight Riders are third on this list, having scored 974 through 164 fours and 53 sixes. Skipper Gautam Gambhir is in great touch this season, scoring 387 runs in 10 innings and briefly holding the Orange Cap.

When in form, he revels in piercing through the gaps on the field at will. This is evident from the fact that he has scored 52 fours from his 10 innings - not just a team first but also the highest in this season of the tournament.

But, the left-hander is not equally adept at clearing the ground and has struck only 3 sixes. Overall, it is Robin Uthappa who leads KKR with 57 boundaries, including as many as 21 sixes. Sunil Narine, who has been promoted up the order as a pinch-hitter, has struck 24 fours and 5 sixes and scored a whopping 89% of his runs in boundaries.
