Most Sixes In IPL By An Indian
Hitting sixes is mandatory nowadays in T20 cricket. The Indian Premier League has some big stars like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, MS Dhoni, Suresh Raina, etc who have served as a brand ambassador for the event. The bowlers have nothing special to offer as the conditions are against them. The batsmen generally capitalize on the powerplay and death overs to give big hits for sixes. Having the ability to hit sixes either helps the team post a big score or win close games when balls are less and the target is big. This article will take you through the Indians with the most sixes in IPL.
Rohit Sharma

The charismatic batsman has hit 261 sixes in 245 matches including 6280 runs. His mere strike rate of 130.37 will not speak about the impact Sharma has during powerplay, he takes on the bowlers upon getting an opportunity.
MS Dhoni
MS Dhoni and Sixes are a never-ending story and he gets 2nd place on the list of most sixes in IPL by an Indian with 242 sixes in 253 games.
