Cricket is not just about hitting over the ropes. Batsmen still have a deep feeling of astonished wonderment for finding a gap between the fielders to hit the ball for four!
Indian Premier League (IPL), where runs come in abundant measure, also has its own share of boundaries in bulk.
Here, in this article, I have sketched a table, ordering the IPL teams in counts of the fours their players have scored in total.
