Ashish Singh Indian Premier League Stats, Sixes Records

Six-hitting is a mix of timing and power.

Ever wondered why batsmen who can hit sixes at will and have the ability to clear the ropes are considered game-changers?

Would you pay to watch a Virat Kohli hit with a bat like a paintbrush and flick the ball over square leg to strike a six or a Chris Gayle Murder opposition bowler with his Spartan willow? I am sure it would be very difficult to choose between the two.

Mentioned below are the strikers who have cleared the ropes maximum times in the IPL.
