Normally, 650 sixes are scored in each season on average. Many of the sixes have sailed over the boundary with ease with a feweven breaking the 100-meter mark with elan. Lets take a look at the five biggest sixes ever hit in the IPL, in terms of distance. It is amazing to see the players that have made it to the list as it is a combination of power-hitters and classical batsmen.

5. Ross Taylor-119 meters

This humongous six from Ross Taylor was hit way back in the one of the first few games of IPL 2008. Playing for the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Taylor came in to bat at number three and was at the receiving end of a nice juicy half tracker from Jacob Oram, his New Zealand team-mate.

4. Robin Uttapa -120 meters

Robin Uthappa hit a monstrous six with ease at the Wankhede stadium in IPL 2010. The poor bowler who was on the receiving end was Dwayne Bravo, considered as one of the best death bowlers. But that delivery to Uthappa was so poor that the Karnataka cricketer lifted it over long on for a huge six.

3. Adam Gilchrist- 122 meters

That was the beautiful description of Adam Gilchrist’s massive six against the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2011, which travelled 122m in Dharamshala, which was a combination of exquisite timing and brute force. It sure would have found its way down the hill!

2. Praveen Kumar-124 meters

Real surprise in the list, Praveen Kumar is at the second spot for a six which travelled 124m against the bowling of Yusuf Pathan in IPL 2008.

1. Albie Morkel-125 meters

This blow from Albie Morkel, way back in 2008, continues to top the charts in terms of the longest six. Pragyan Ojha bowled a nicely flighted delivery close on Albie’s legs and that as we know is asking for trouble.
