Before the start of IPL 2026, an interesting figure has come out, which tells which team has hit the most sixes in the history of the league. In this list, Mumbai Indians is at first place, while Royal Challengers Bangalore is at second and Chennai Super Kings is at third place.
According to the records till now, Mumbai Indians have hit the maximum number of 1823 sixes in IPL history. RCB is at second place, which has 1774 sixes in its name. Whereas Chennai Super Kings is at third position with 1610 sixes. That means, in this race for sixes, CSK still remains in the top-3, but Mumbai and Bengaluru have gone ahead of it.
Why is Mumbai number-1?
Mumbai Indians have been counted among the strongest teams of IPL for a long time. There were many batsmen in this team like Rohit Sharma, Suryakumar Yadav, Kieron Pollard (East) and Hardik Pandya, who showed expertise in playing big shots. This is the reason why Mumbai has made the record of maximum number of sixes on the basis of continuous aggressive batting. It is clear from this record of Mumbai that the team has not only won titles but has also given a lot of thrill to the fans in terms of entertainment.
RCB also faces strong competition
RCB, which is at second position, is also giving tough competition to Mumbai. Apart from the legendary batsman like Virat Kohli, there have been many players in the team over the years who have hit big shots. This includes the names of explosive batsmen like AB de Villiers (East) and Chris Gayle. With 1774 sixes, the difference between RCB and Mumbai is not much. In such a situation, this match can become more interesting in IPL 2026.
CSK is at number three, but the pace has slowed down
Chennai Super Kings is at third place with 1610 sixes. This team continued to perform well for a long time, but in the last few seasons its play was not as impressive as before. This is the reason why it was left behind Mumbai and RCB in the race for sixes. Still, CSK being at number three shows that the team has batted strongly for years and it has also contributed a lot in hitting big shots.
Trend changed in recent season
In recent years, some other teams have also shown new colors in the matter of hitting sixes. In 2024, Sunrisers Hyderabad made a record by hitting 178 sixes in a single season. After this, in 2025, Punjab Kings showed their strength by hitting 173 sixes. It is clear from this that now not only the old big teams in IPL, but other franchises are also playing aggressive cricket.
