Not many days left for the start of the Indian Premier League (IPL). IPL 2026 starts from March 28. Even in the 19th season, cricket fans will see the rain of fours and sixes. The number of sixes is increasing every IPL season. Batsmen do not shy away from taking the risk of hitting big sixes. Ahead of the new season, let’s take a look at the top 10 players who hit the longest sixes in IPL history. The list includes four Indians.

Albie Morkel holds the record for longest sixes in IPL history. In 2008, former South African all-rounder Morkel hit a 125m six for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) against Deccan Chargers in his first season. Morkel is followed by former Indian bowler Praveen Kumar. In an IPL match between Mumbai Indians (MI) and Kings XI Punjab in 2013, Praveen stunned everyone by hitting a powerful 124m six. He was part of the Punjab team.
