Most Sixes Hit: The 2025 edition of the Indian Premier League has been a celebration of big hitting, with batters showing no mercy to bowlers and the ball soaring into the stands with alarming regularity. If there’s one statistic that defines the high-voltage entertainment of T20 cricket, it’s the number of sixes — and IPL 2025 has delivered in style.
Most Sixes Hit in IPL 2025
With flat pitches, quick outfields, and fearless intent, several batters have stood out with their ability to clear the ropes consistently. Let’s take a closer look at some of the biggest six-hitters so far this season and what makes them so dangerous.
1. Heinrich Klaasen – The Six-Hitting Machine
Heinrich Klaasen has made a serious statement this season. The Sunrisers Hyderabad batter has taken a no-nonsense approach against both pace and spin. His raw power, especially against the spinners, has seen him regularly depositing balls deep into the crowd. Klaasen has already cleared the ropes more than 30 times, and it’s not just the quantity, but the quality — many of his sixes have gone 90 meters or more. His fearless intent in the middle overs has made him a nightmare for bowlers.
2. Nicholas Pooran – Maximums with Style
Lucknow Super Giants’ Nicholas Pooran has proven again why he’s one of the cleanest strikers in world cricket. Whether batting at No. 4 or 5, Pooran has been ruthless. What makes his sixes stand out is the ease with which he times them — a flick, a loft, or even a simple pickup over fine leg looks effortless but sails into the crowd. He has been particularly lethal in the death overs, often finishing games with a flurry of sixes that leave spectators stunned.

3. Jos Buttler – Consistency and Clean Hitting
When it comes to consistency in hitting sixes, Jos Buttler is a name that always pops up. For Rajasthan Royals, Buttler continues to be the backbone of the batting lineup. His ability to switch gears at will, paired with textbook technique, allows him to pick bowlers and launch into the stands. He has played a couple of standout innings this season where he’s hit sixes for fun, particularly at smaller grounds like Jaipur and Guwahati, where his timing and power were on full display.
4. Shivam Dube – Domestic Powerhouse
Chennai Super Kings’ Shivam Dube has become a six-hitting sensation this season. Promoted up the order in some games, he has made the most of the opportunity. His tall frame and natural strength allow him to muscle the ball even off mistimed shots. Dube has been particularly effective against spinners, stepping out and lofting them into the stands with confidence. His rise as a six-hitter is a promising sign for both CSK and Indian cricket.
5. Riyan Parag – A Surprise Package
Among the lesser-expected names in the top six-hitters list is Riyan Parag. Often criticized in previous seasons for inconsistency, Parag has turned things around in 2025. With a more mature approach and clear hitting zones, he’s played some match-winning cameos that have included back-to-back sixes. His self-belief and fearless mindset have earned him a spot among the most impactful batters this season.
What’s Fueling the Six-Hitting Fest?
There are multiple reasons behind the surge in sixes this season. First, teams are backing aggressive starts, with openers given full license to go hard from ball one. Second, most pitches this season have been batting-friendly, offering true bounce and minimal lateral movement. And third, T20 cricket has evolved — batters are now more strategic, using power-hitting coaches, data analysis, and specialized training to enhance their six-hitting skills.
Final Thoughts
IPL 2025 has clearly become a paradise for big hitters. The crowd loves it, teams rely on it, and players are delivering it in style. As the tournament enters its second half, fans can expect the six count to rise dramatically, with more centuries, chases, and unforgettable finishes on the way. For now, it’s safe to say — this IPL belongs to the power-hitters.
