IPL 2017: Top 5 big-hitting teams this year

#2 Gujarat Lions

McCullum alone has struck 47 boundaries, while skipper Raina is not far behind with 40 boundaries

Second on this list are Gujarat Lions, who boast a line-up of big hitters. Brendon McCullum, Suresh Raina, Aaron Finch, Dwayne Smith and Jason Roy - are all clean strikers of the ball, who can clear the ropes on any ground. So it comes as no surprise that GL have smashed 150 fours and 63 sixes in 10 innings to score 978 runs in boundaries.

McCullum alone has struck 47 boundaries, while skipper Raina is not far behind with 40 boundaries. However, while Raina’s 32 fours just edge past the former’s 29, the Kiwi leaves his skipper far behind in the sixes column with 18 sixes against the latter’s eight. Merely on the count of sixes, Aaron Finch comes second with 15 sixes.
