Since IPL started in 2008, the amount of range hitting and total maximums hit in each season has only gone up. Names like MS Dhoni, Andre Russell, AB de Villiers, Chris Gayle, and Rohit Sharma have earned the reputation of hitting the ball a long distance with utmost comfort. Over the years, a plethora of huge hits have impressed the fans and has been one of the major reasons of the league being a crowd-puller.
South African all-rounder Albie Morkel hit a monstrous hit in 2008 against Delhi Daredevils (now Capitals) that travelled a massive 125 metres. And till date, no batter in the history of the tournament has been able to surpass the distance. The second on the list of highest sixes in the league is Praveen Kumar, who hit a 124-metre six in 2008 against Rajasthan Royals, playing for RCB that season.
