Top 5 Longest Sixes in IPL History: Player Names (Batsmen) Who has hit the Biggest Six in IPL

Longest Six of IPL: The Indian Premier League (IPL) season is mostly about how big hit the six was and who is hitting sixes. A six always brings the crowds alive and sometimes, a shot which travels many-a-mile can break the opposition and can win matches for the batting team. During all these years, there were many six sixes in IPL seasons but let’s see who was the longest six and along with that the longest six in IPL 8. So far, Royal Challengers Bangalore’s (RCB) Chris Gayle has scored the most number of sixes in the IPL followed by Suresh Raina. However in terms of distance there are other players ahead of Gayle. So let’s see who has hit the longest six in IPL history and which the top 5 longest sixes of IPL are.

Albie Morkel – 125m

Way back in 2008, Albie Morkel gave a blow which continues to top the charts in terms of the longest sixes in IPL history. The bowler Pragyan Ojha bowled a nicely flighted delivery close on Albie’s legs and as we know it was bound for a trouble.

Praveen Kumar – 124m

You might be surprised to see this name but Praveen Kumar is at the second spot for a six which travelled 124m against the bowling of Yusuf Pathan in IPL 2008 it was one of the biggest six in IPL history.

Adam Gilchrist – 122m

Another IPL history longest six is Adam Gilchrist’s one. “It has gone miles. Absolutely miles. Out of the ground. Out of the stadium and rolling down the hill.” This beautiful description was given for Gilchrist’s massive six against RCB in 2011.

Robin Uthappa – 120m

Robin Uthappa hit a monstrous six with ease at the Wankhede stadium in IPL 2010 and it was one of the longest six distance in IPL. The poor bowler on the receiving end was Dwayne Bravo and was considered as one of the best death bowlers.

Chris Gayle – 119m

Another IPL 8 longest six is Chris Gayle’s and this should be the first lesson to any left-arm spinner who bowls to Chris Gayle. Ali Murtaza, the Pune Warriors India left-arm spinner bowled a length ball close to Gayle’s body, a juicy full-length delivery, which was dispatched over mid-wicket with so much power.
