IPL 2019: 4 All-time Batting records that will not break this season

#2 Most Sixes in an inning

Brendon McCullum

A short-lived franchise Pune Warriors India (2011 – 2013) experienced a nightmare at Bangalore’s M Chinnaswamy Stadium, Bangalore in their last IPL edition (2013). They were up against RCB possessing the world’s most unforgiving batsmen – Tilakratne Dilshan, AB De Villiers, Virat Kohli but that day, one man that took them apart was Chris Gayle. With his destructive innings, he smashed one six after another and ended up with slamming as many as 17 humongous sixes.

On his way, he crushed the longtime record owned by another flamboyant player, Brendon McCullum created at the historic inaugural IPL game way back in 2008. Since then, the closest anyone could reach was AB De Villiers (12 sixes) with his superlative innings (129 runs) against another short-lived franchise Gujrat Lions back in 2016. It has been 5 years since and it looks like the record is here to stay for many more years to come until and unless the Universal Boss gets bored and decides to break it himself.
