Great Ajay 😊

Indian Premier League has truly given fans some unforgettable monster sixes over the years. Albie Morkel’s 125m hit still looks unbelievable even today. I also remember those huge shots from Chris Gayle, Adam Gilchrist, and Robin Uthappa that completely shocked the crowd and commentators. Honestly, early IPL seasons had a different energy when it came to power hitting. These giant sixes are one of the biggest reasons why IPL became so exciting and popular among cricket fans around the world. Watching those shots still gives goosebumps to cricket lovers 🏏🔥

IPL has witnessed many huge sixes that fascinated crowd and commentators at the same time. Few sixes are very longest that may have landed on the other planet :)

1. Ross Taylor (119m)

The Kiwi right-handed batsman took charge on one such delivery when he smashed a 119m long six against Chennai Super Kings.

2. Robin Uthappa (120m)

Robin Uthappa smashed one of the longest sixes in IPL history when he lashed out a 120m six off a length delivery from CSK’s Dwayne Bravo.

3. Adam Gilchrist (122m)

It is no wonder that this Aussie wicket keeper/batsman features in this elite list of longest six. One of the finest and aggressive openers of all time, Gilchrist brutally hit a monstrous 122m long six over the deep midwicket against RCB.

4. Praveen Kumar (124m)

Don't get surprised Praveen Kumar who has the reputation of a swing bowler brought himself into this list by hitting a massive 124 m long six while batting down the order for KXIP.

5. Albie Morkel (125m)

The South African al-rounder while playing for CSK, took charge on Pragyan Ojha when he slogged it over deep midwicket for the longest six ever in IPL history- 125 meters. The record was set in the inaugural season and is yet to be broken.

Here is the video that shows all five monstrous sixes:
