IPL: 5 star batters who have not hit a single six in their IPL careers

Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed top-drawer batters step into the arena and ace the art of six-hitting. Some players have struck sixes by sheer power while certain players have counted upon their timing to clear the ropes. Chris Gayle is the most prolific six-hitters in the marquee tournament, having hammered an insane tally of 357 maximums.

However, hitting sixes has not been everyone’s cup of tea and there have been batters who have found it tough to smash sixes in the lucrative T20 tournament. Surprisingly, there are certain renowned names of world cricket who have not struck a single six in their IPL career.

Here are 5 star batters who have not hit a single six in their IPL careers

5. Aakash Chopra

Aakash Chopra was a proven performer in the Indian domestic circuit. He showed enormous patience and determination on the cricket field and wore down bowling line-ups. The Agra-born featured in 162 first-class matches and amassed 10839 runs at an average of 45.35.

However, Aakash was not consistent for the Indian team in the Tests. He featured in 10 matches in the longest format of the game and could only score 437 runs at an average of 23.00. The former Indian cricketer last donned the national jersey in October 2004. 

Aakash also featured in a couple of editions of the lucrative T20 tournament but his style of play was not in sync with the fickle T20 format and thus, he was pretty dismal with the bat. The former Indian batter played seven games for Kolkata Knight Riders and could score only 53 runs at a strike rate of 74.65. Also, he was not able to hit any sixes in his IPL career.
