You will be surpised to see the Most sixes by Indians in IPL history.
The Indian Premier League is a professional T20 cricket championship that’s held annually by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The IPL is a short-format cricket tournament that emphasizes entertainment and aggression over the strategic and paced nature of ODI or Test cricket. Dot balls are a rare occurrence in the IPL, and most batters prefer going for boundaries.
In a league like the IPL, having strong hitters in your batting order is essential. When some of their players can hit monster sixes at will, the teams have a huge edge. It’s especially useful during power plays and death-overs. This is why some teams send their most explosive players to start the game or conclude the innings.

Most Sixes by Players in the IPL
The IPL record for most sixes in history is held by Chris Gayle. Furthermore, it’s doubtful that any other cricket player will ever be able to match or even close to matching his amazing record of 357 sixes.
With 272 sixes, Rohit Sharma, who is still captain of the Mumbai Indians and has a few strong years remaining in him, comes in second.
With 251 sixes, AB de Villiers holds the third spot.
