The eyes of cricket fans around the world are soon going to be glued to the TV screens because a huge cricket extravaganza is about to take place. When the IPL 2026 season starts on March 28 at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru, the curiosity of the spectators will increase. Eager to see their respective teams winning and also to see whose bat will hit the most sixes this time? Will anyone be able to break the record of Chris Gayle (59) after 14 years? Will any Indian batsman be able to cross the figure of 50 sixes? The answer to this will be known after the start of the season but there are 8 such players who can do something amazing.
Abhishek Sharma
Even if T20 World Cup Abhishek Sharma It may not have been very good for him but it would be wrong to take him lightly. It will prove difficult for the bowlers to stop this star opener of Sunrisers Hyderabad and once again he can become the batsman who hits the most sixes. Anyway, Abhishek has hit 42 sixes in one season, which is a record for any Indian batsman.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi
The biggest attraction of this IPL is going to be Vaibhav Suryavanshi. Last season, the 14-year-old opener of Rajasthan Royals played only 7 matches but in those 7 matches only, Vaibhav hit 24 sixes. This time he will continue playing from the first match, so it will not be surprising if this youngest star of IPL achieves this record.
Ishaan Kishan
Ishan Kishan is one of the batsmen who has been in the best form in the last few months. After the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy, Ishaan created a stir in the T20 World Cup also. Now with excellent form, he is going to take the field for Sunrisers and this time he is talking mostly in fours and sixes.
nicholas puran
After Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell, the West Indies batsman who has created a stir with his six-hitting in the IPL is Nicholas Pooran. In the last season, this Lucknow Super Giants batsman had hit the maximum number of 40 sixes. This time too Puran will try to be at the forefront in the race of hitting sixes.
Suryakumar Yadav
Captain Suryakumar Yadav, who returned after making Team India the T20 World Champion, will not captain in the IPL but like every time, he will again be the most important link of Mumbai’s batting. His name is in the top-10 or 15 in the list of people who hit the most sixes in every season. Last year he had hit 38 sixes. This time he would like to go ahead of him.
heinrich classen
If any foreign player has impressed the most in recent years in terms of hitting sixes against spinners, then it is South African star Heinrich Klaasen. Clausen, an important part of Sunrisers’ explosive batting line, scores a lot of runs while batting in the middle overs and hits a lot of sixes.
Mitchell Marsh
Australian star Mitchell Marsh, who was one of the most successful batsmen for Lucknow Super Giants last season, had hit 37 sixes. He will enter IPL 2026 also with the same intention to hit as many sixes as possible and make the team win. He is also a strong contender to become the number-1 six-hitter this season.
Virat Kohli
Perhaps the most surprising name in this list may be that of Virat Kohli. There is a reason for this – he is not known as a six hitter. But Kohli has become better at this work in the last 2 years. In IPL 2024, when Abhishek had hit the maximum number of 42 sixes, Kohli was at second place with 38 sixes. Recently, in different ODI series, Kohli had shown more interest in hitting sixes and was also successful. It should not be too surprising if he does this this time.
