The same season saw Virat Kohli collect 973 runs, a record tally in an edition, which included 83 boundaries.
Sachin Tendulkar, who is second on the list, was the first to hit 80-plus fours in a season. The Master Blaster struck 86 fours in 15 matches back in 2010. Interestingly, he smashed only three sixes back then.
