The Indian record for most sixes in an IPL innings is in the name of Murali Vijay. He hit 11 sixes in 2010. Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also equaled this record with 11 sixes. Sanju Samson is second in this list with 10 sixes.
Who is the Indian player who has hit the most sixes in an innings in IPL? This is a record which has been made for almost one and a half decade, but even six-hitting machines like Rohit Sharma to Vaibhav Suryavanshi have not been able to break it. However, one player has definitely managed to equal it.
Murali Vijay had made a great record by hitting 11 sixes in an innings.
This record is in the name of Chennai Super Kings’ legendary batsman Murali Vijay. Vijay did this feat against Rajasthan Royals in the 2010 IPL edition. In that match, this right-handed batsman played a stormy innings and scored 127 runs in just 56 balls. On the basis of his innings, he took Chennai’s score to 246 runs. 11 sixes were hit from Vijay’s bat that day, which is still the highest number of sixes hit by an Indian player in an innings. He also hit 8 fours. Chennai won the match by 23 runs and Murali Vijay was chosen ‘Man of the Match’.
There is also a record in the name of Vaibhav Suryavanshi
However, Vijay is not alone in holding this record. Along with him is Vaibhav Suryavanshi, popularly known as ‘Boss Baby’. Vaibhav also hit 11 sixes in his century innings against Gujarat Titans last season. Sanju Samson’s name comes after Vaibhav in this list. Sanju had hit 10 sixes against Royal Challengers Bangalore in 2018. In that match, Sanju had scored 92 runs in just 45 balls.
