There is rain of fours and sixes in IPL every season, but there are some overs which are recorded forever in the history of cricket. Scoring the most runs in a single over not only shows the strength of the batsman, but also changes the entire trend of the match. In the history of IPL, there have been many such overs where the bowlers looked helpless and the batsmen made records.

Royal Challengers Bangalore vs Kochi Tuskers – 8 May 2011

The record of most runs scored in one over in IPL is 37 runs. This feat was first accomplished by Chris Gayle on 8 May 2011. While playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, Gayle attacked Kochi Tuskers Kerala bowler Prasanth Parameswaran fiercely in the over. Gayle hit six sixes and fours with one no-ball in that over. This match played at M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is still counted among the most memorable moments of IPL.

RCB vs Chennai Super Kings – 25 April 2021

After almost ten years, this record was repeated again on 25 April 2021. This time, Chennai Super Kings all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja scored 37 runs in one over of RCB bowler Harshal Patel. In this match played in Mumbai, Jadeja hit sixes and proved that he has the ability to win matches not only with the ball but also with the bat.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Mumbai Indians – 2022

Another surprising name was added to this list in IPL 2022. Kolkata Knight Riders captain Pat Cummins scored 35 runs in Daniel Sams’ over against Mumbai Indians. In this match played in Pune, Cummins showed that even a fast bowler can become a dangerous batsman when needed.

Chennai Super Kings vs Kings XI Punjab – 30 May 2014

Suresh Raina has always been a reliable batsman in IPL. On May 30, 2014, while playing for CSK, he scored 33 runs in one over of Punjab’s Parvinder Awana. His fast run rate and excellent timing put the team in a strong position.

Kolkata Knight Riders vs Kings XI Punjab – 4 April 2010

In IPL 2010, Manoj Tiwari of Kolkata Knight Riders along with Chris Gayle scored 33 runs in a single over. Fours and sixes rained in this over of Ravi Bopara and this moment of the initial IPL season is still remembered.

If anything has thrilled the spectators the most in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, it is the skyrocketing sixes. In the last several editions, the world’s great batsmen have made this tournament special with their powerful shots. Today we will know about the batsmen who have hit the most sixes in the history of T20 World Cup…

Chris Gayle – West Indies

If we talk about the most number of sixes in the history of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, then the first name that comes up is that of West Indies’ legendary batsman Chris Gayle. In the tournament played between 2007 and 2021, Gayle hit 63 sixes in 33 matches. His long hits gave a new identity to T20 cricket. Gayle’s aggressive style and powerful shots are still memorable for cricket fans.

Jos Buttler – England

England’s Jos Buttler made a name for himself with his explosive batting in the T20 World Cup. He hit 43 sixes in 35 matches. Buttler’s high strike rate and confidence in playing big shots has been an important reason for England’s T20 success.

David Warner – Australia

Australian opening batsman David Warner is at fourth place in this list. He hit 40 sixes in 41 matches of the T20 World Cup. Warner may rely on timing rather than power, but his sixes have been capable of changing the course of the match when needed.

Virat Kohli – India

The fifth name in this list is that of India’s Virat Kohli. Kohli hit 35 sixes in 35 matches. He is usually known for making innings with fours and single-doubles, but his sixes hit at times of pressure have always worked for the team.

Triple Century In Test & Double Hundred In ODIs: In the history of international cricket, many fearsome batsmen have come and gone, but there have been only a few batsmen who have registered their names in the pages of history. In international cricket, very few batsmen have been able to create fear among the bowlers, among which the names of former Indian opener Virender Sehwag and former West Indies opener Chris Gayle come on top. They scored a lot of runs with their batting in all three formats and both were successful in achieving a feat which no batsman has been able to do till date.

Virender Sehwag made a big record

India’s explosive former opening batsman Virender Sehwag is the first player in the history of international cricket to score two triple centuries in Tests and a double century in ODIs. Sehwag had created history by scoring the first triple century against Pakistan while the second triple century was scored in the match played with South Africa. In the year 2004, he played an inning of 309 runs in Multan. In the year 2008, he set a new record by scoring 319 runs against South Africa in Chennai. Sehwag has a total of 8,586 runs in his name in 104 Test matches, in which his average was 49.34 and the best score is 319 runs.

In One Day International, Sehwag scored a double century on 8 December 2011 in the match played against West Indies at Holkar Stadium, Indore. Sehwag had scored 219 runs in 149 balls with the help of 25 fours and 7 sixes. He scored a total of 8,273 runs in 251 ODI matches, in which he has 15 centuries and 38 half-centuries.

Chris Gayle also made a great record

In the history of international cricket, the second player in the world to score two triple centuries in Tests and one double century in ODIs is former West Indies star opener Chris Gayle. Gayle had made this great record against South Africa and Sri Lanka. Chris Gayle had scored 317 runs against South Africa in 2005, while in 2010 he had scored 333 runs against Sri Lanka in Galle.

Chris Gayle played an inning of 215 runs during the 2015 ODI World Cup against Zimbabwe in Canberra. He played this historic innings with the help of 10 fours and 16 sixes in 147 balls. Gayle scored a total of 10,480 runs in 301 ODI matches, in which he has 25 centuries and 54 half-centuries.

Most Sixes In IPL: The Indian Premier League (IPL) has always been known for its explosive batting. Here the batsmen have been seen many times hitting sixes and fours. The name that still tops the list of players who have hit the most sixes in the history of IPL is Chris Gayle. Let us see who else is included in this list apart from Gayle.

chris gayle

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle played 142 matches in the IPL from 2009 to 2021 and hit a total of 357 sixes. His explosive record of 175 not out is still the highest individual score in IPL. Playing at a strike rate of 148.96, Gayle left no stone unturned to test the bowlers. Be it RCB or Punjab, wherever Gayle played, he hit sixes.

Rohit Sharma

At second place is India’s hitman Rohit Sharma, who has hit 302 sixes in 272 matches. Rohit has not only been a brilliant captain, but has always dominated the bowlers with his smooth yet explosive style. Be it opening or middle order, Rohit is guaranteed to hit sixes with his bat.

Virat Kohli

Virat Kohli, the batsman who scored the most runs in IPL, is at third place in this list. He has hit 291 sixes in 267 matches. Kohli may be counted for traditional shots, but his clean hitting ability is no less than that of any T20 superstar. He has consistently shown his class with the best score of 113 not out and eight centuries.

ms dhoni

The name of CSK captain and one of the biggest finishers of the league, MS Dhoni, is also included in this list. He has hit 264 sixes in IPL. In 278 matches, Dhoni ended many matches single-handedly with his helicopter hitting. His power and timing are an inspiration for young players even today.

AB de Villiers

AB de Villiers, one of the most innovative batsmen in the world, has hit 251 sixes in the IPL. Be it a scoop, reverse lap or straight sixes, AB used to play shots in every corner of the field. His strike rate has been 151.68.

Test cricket has always been considered a game of calm and patience. Here the batsmen prefer to stay at the crease for long innings. However, there is one player who surprised the whole world by hitting a six on the very first ball of this format. No other batsman has been able to repeat this feat till date. This record shows how much strength, confidence and ability to take risks the batsman had.

A six that became history

On 13 November 2012, West Indies’ legendary opener Chris Gayle had performed a unique feat in Mirpur. He sent the very first ball of the test match against Bangladesh across the boundary. Bowler Sohag Ghazi was bowling the first test over of his career and Universe Boss was standing in front. Ghazi bowled the ball, and Gayle without any hesitation converted it over long-on for six. This moment became not just a shot, but a unique record in Test history.

The first over became a ‘highlight package’

Gayle did not stop here. He played another big shot in the same over and scored a total of 18 runs. However, the interesting thing was that later it was Sohag Ghazi who dismissed Chris Gayle for 24 runs. Despite this, this over-test has been recorded as one of the memorable moments in history.

Top hitters of sixes in test

Chris Gayle’s name is also included among the batsmen who have hit the most sixes in Test cricket. He has hit 98 sixes in Tests and is at fifth position in this list. Above him are big players like Tim Southee, Adam Gilchrist, Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes.

Also scored two triple centuries, there is an empire in T20

Gayle has been famous not only for big shots but also for playing long innings. He scored two triple centuries in Tests, one against South Africa and the other against Sri Lanka. 7214 runs and best score of 333 in 103 test matches are proof of his class and talent.

Talking about T20, he stands at a different level there. With 22 centuries, 88 half-centuries and more than 14 thousand runs, he is still considered the biggest legend of T20 cricket.

Following reports of irregularities, match cancellations and non-payment of payments in the private T20 cricket league Indian Heaven Premier League (IHPL) in Srinagar, the police have registered a case and started investigation. A top police officer said that an FIR has been registered under relevant sections of the law, and the investigation is underway. Let us tell you that the organization of this league started on October 25 at Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar. The names of many big players like Chris Gayle and Praveen Kumar were included in this.

Players and service providers associated with the league alleged that they did not receive promised payments and were refused entry to the stadium due to “technical difficulties”. Some people also claimed that they were asked to vacate the hotel rooms.

Officials said, “We have received several complaints and have started investigation based on the complaints. But, it is too early to say anything as this was not an official league, but a privately organized league.”

The IHPL included many local and international cricketers, but it was neither recognized by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) nor the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA), raising questions about its validity.

Chris Gayle played 3 matches

The names of many big players were associated with this league, in which the names of former West Indies cricketer Chris Gayle and former Indian fast bowler Praveen Kumar were big. Thisara Perera of Sri Lanka, Richard Levi of South Africa and Shoaib Muhammad of Pakistan origin were also included in this league for a short time.

Chris Gayle played 3 matches in this, Perera played only one match. However, it cannot be said whether the organizers have also run away with Chris Gayle’s money or his payment had already been made.

Indian Heaven Premiere League, Kashmir: The Indian Heaven Premier League (IHPL), a T20 cricket tournament being played in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, in which local, national and international players were participating, is in trouble. Some players are stranded in a local hotel and are reported to have fled the Valley after the organizers allegedly failed to pay the hotel bills, while many other players from the eight participating teams are also counting their losses.

The high-profile cricket event, organized by a private sponsor, ran into trouble when several players boycotted the matches allegedly due to non-payment of dues, leading to chaos in the event. The league was being played at the Bakshi Stadium in Srinagar, which is meant for football and government events, and ever since it started on October 25, huge crowds were gathering to cheer their favorite players.

Chris Gayle and Praveen Kumar also included in the league

Eight teams took part in the Heaven Premier League, which also included former West Indies star Chris Gayle and former Indian fast bowler Praveen Kumar. The league had released a list of 32 former international players including Martin Guptill, Moeen Ali and Shakib-al-Hasan, but only Chris Gayle and Praveen Kumar reached the valley. The remaining players in the league included former Ranji players and local talent.

Reports today state that players who were due to play claimed they were asked “not to come to the stadium” due to “technical difficulties”, leading to the matches being cancelled. Earlier, a cricketer from the valley had announced that he would not participate in the ongoing league, citing irregularities, lack of clarity on contracts and payments. Meanwhile, the matches to be held at Bakshi Stadium on Saturday, November 1 and Sunday, November 2 were also canceled after the players refused to enter the field.

Truth hidden from players

Officials of Jammu and Kashmir Sports Council, which is a government body, said that the council has nothing to do with the league as it is a private event. Sports Council officials said that they had only provided the ground, for which charges were taken as per the rules of the council.

A player, whose match was to be held today, said that he was asked not to report on the field due to technical difficulties. The player said, ‘My match was to be held today, and when I called my manager to ask about it, he told me not to come to the stadium because there are some technical problems’.

Many international players have already left Srinagar, while many cricketers, mainly in Jammu and Kashmir, are staying in a local hotel. The players were accommodated in more than 100 rooms at the Radisson Collection in a posh area on the banks of the Jhelum river in the Rajbagh area of ​​Srinagar.

A management official said, ‘The organizers had booked the hotel rooms till November 9, but they did not pay the money and left without paying more than Rs 80 lakh and have allegedly absconded. We locked the rooms this morning, but allowed the players to leave.

People involved in catering, bus drivers and others claim that they too have not been paid. He said that he too is confused and is afraid that he will not get his money. Melissa Juniper, who was umpiring the matches, told reporters that the organizers ran away late last night and their phones were switched off. He said, “The bills for the hotel, players, umpires and everyone else have not been paid. The league management is nowhere to be seen, their phones are switched off. We have made an agreement with the hotel management so that the players can be allowed to go home with their families. There are about 40 players in the hotel, they have not been paid and it is not right for them to be away from their families.”

Among these players, 32 former international players also include Chris Gayle, who played three matches and left a few days ago, while former Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera played one match and left Srinagar. Apart from these, South African players Richard Levi, Shoaib Muhammad and Oman’s Ayaan Khan also played in the matches. This league was promoted and popularized by a well-known cricketer of Jammu and Kashmir. IHPL has not received recognition from BCCI or Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA).
