Boundaries in IPL are bread and butter to win games. Teams have their own strategies to win games; some wait for the death overs to explode, and some just start thrashing the balls from the word go.
IPL, as it has grown into a worldwide popular sport, has taken the T20 format to a new level. It’s fair to say the format has evolved with the Indian league. Teams now believe that the difference between two teams can be measured by the number of sixes both teams hit in a game. After all, the past controversial rule of deciding the game with the number of boundaries teams have scored, in case of a tied super-over, might look meaningful from this perspective.
Here, in this article, we will rank IPL teams based on the number of sixes they have hit as a team.
