Most 6s by a batsman in IPL history

#2 AB de Villiers – 187 sixes

AB de Villiers is one of the best overseas players to have participated in the IPL. He is undoubtedly a big part of the IPL and the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB).

After a low-key first three years with Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), his move to the Royal Challengers Bangalore turned things around for him as far as IPL cricket is concerned. His partnership with RCB skipper Virat Kohli is a remarkable one and he is absolutely vital to RCB’s success.

In this list, de Villiers has played the second least number of innings (129) and yet he is in the second place. He has struck 187 sixes and does not lead the fifth-placed Rohit Sharma by much. The South African star batsman has put together 3953 runs at an average of 39.53 and a strike-rate of 150.93. He has the opportunity to scale the 200-six mark this season and become just the second player to achieve the feat.
