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.
