Most 6s by a batsman in IPL history

Modified Mar 19, 2019 13:21 IST

#3 MS Dhoni – 186 sixes

MS Dhoni will arguably go down as one of the best wicket-keeper batsmen the world has ever seen. In terms of stats, both with the bat and with the gloves, he is one of the best wicket-keepers to have played in the IPL. He has amassed 4016 runs at an average of 40.16 which is one of the best for players who have scored in excess of 500 runs.

He is one of the best captains in the history of the IPL as he has won three IPL titles and has led Chennai Super Kings (CSK) to the playoffs in every season they’ve played.

Dhoni entered the world stage 15 years ago as one of the fiercest strikers of the ball on the back of his ability to clear any boundary with ease. Hence, it is no surprise that the former Indian skipper is in the list of batsmen with most sixes in the IPL. In fact, he has the most sixes by an Indian in this league. With 186 sixes, Dhoni is placed third on this list.
