IPL 2022: Ranking teams based on sixes hit by them
This year's competition was highlighted by the most sixes ever hit in an IPL season.
3. Kolkata Knight Riders – 113 sixes
Last year’s runner-ups started well in IPL 2022 under the new leadership of Shreyas Iyer. But the lack of form of their star batters, especially the openers halted their progress to the playoffs this year.
Andre Russell lit up this year’s competition with his trademark power-hitting display, as he brutalized bowlers with 32 sixes in 12 games. The all-rounder found a company in the form of Nitish Rana, who hit 22 sixes in IPL 2022. The KKR skipper, Shreyas Iyer also contributed with 11 sixes to his name. Sam Billings was impressive in his few outings as he bagged ten sixes in eight games.
Rinku Singh was one of the feel-good stories of this year’s tournament, he had seven sixes to his name. Pat Cummins also bagged an unlikely six sixes to his name, with all six of those coming in mind-boggling innings of 56 in just 15 balls against MI. He equaled the record for the fastest fifty ever in the IPL (14 balls) during that innings.
