If we look at the last few seasons, IPL pitches are suitable for batting. Therefore, scoring 200 runs in matches has now become a common thing. But no bowler wants to be hit continuously and have to face sixes after sixes. Something similar has happened with Anshul Kamboj of Chennai Super Kings, who holds the record for hitting the most sixes in an IPL season.
Anshul Kamboj is the same bowler who took 17 wickets in his first 9 matches in IPL 2026. But after that Anshul bowled 18.4 overs in five matches and gave away 261 runs. Even in the match against Gujarat Titans, he gave away 56 runs in 4 overs.
Record of hitting most sixes in an IPL
The shameful record of hitting most sixes in an IPL season has been added to the name of Anshul Kamboj. In IPL 2026, 34 sixes have been hit on his balls. He broke the record of Rashid Khan of Gujarat Titans. Rashid had hit 33 sixes in IPL 2025. Mohammad Siraj’s name also comes in this list, because a total of 31 sixes were hit on his balls in the 2022 season.
- 34 Six – Anshul Kamboj
- 33 Six – Rashid Khan
- 31 Six – Mohammed Siraj
Anshul Kamboj’s journey from the floor to the floor
Anshul Kamboj has traveled a journey from getting accolades to getting surrounded by criticism in IPL 2026. In the first 9 matches, he bowled 31.4 overs and took a total of 17 wickets and gave away a total of 269 runs. At one time he was considered a strong contender to win the Purple Cap. But in the next five matches, he has given away 261 runs and taken only 4 wickets.
