Most IPL sixes: Mumbai Indians stalwart Rohit Sharma is closing in on becoming the first Indian batter to hit 300 sixes in the Indian Premier League during the IPL 2025 season. With three matches left in the group stage for MI, Rohit is three maximums short of etching his name in an exclusive club. The 38-year-old Rohit could then join West Indies legend Chris Gayle, who remains the only batter to have slammed 300 maximums. In his illustrious IPL career, Gayle walloped a staggering 357 sixes in only 141 matches. Gayle also holds the record for the most sixes hit in a single season. Gayle smashed 59 sixes in 2013, bettering his 51 sixes from the previous edition in 2012. Interestingly, 127 of Gayle’s sixes came at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru.

Rohit Sharma on Sunday surpassed West Indies batter Chris Gayle to rise up to second in the highest six-hitters in ODIs in the second match vs England at Cuttack. Rohit, who started the match tied with Gayle with 331 maximums, surpassed the West Indies icon when he smashed a six over midwicket with his trademark flick shot to Gus Atkinson in the 2nd over. He would follow that six with two more maximums and go up to 334 but he is still behind Pakistan’s Shahid Afridi who has 371. The Indian skipper looked to have regained some of his form after a lean period as he smashed 29 off 18 deliveries before the match suffered a brief stoppage due to a floodlight issue. Earlier, left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja continued his stranglehold over English batters with brilliant figures of 3 for 35 as India bowled out the visitors for a sub-par score of 304.
