Former South African all-rounder Albie Morkel holds the record for the longest six in IPL history. In the 2008 season, while playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK), Morkel hit a 125-meter six against Deccan Chargers. This remarkable six remains one of the most memorable moments of IPL history.
Australia's former wicketkeeper and batsman Adam Gilchrist also makes the list. In 2011, while playing for Kings XI Punjab, Gilchrist hit a 122-meter six against Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB). This impressive shot made a significant impact in the IPL and cemented his place in IPL's history.
Former Indian cricketer Robin Uthappa ranks fourth on this list. In 2008, Uthappa, playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, hit a 120-meter six against Mumbai Indians. This six was a defining moment in his IPL career and contributed to his recognition in the tournament.
West Indies cricket legend Chris Gayle, known for his destructive batting, ranks fifth on the list of longest sixes. In 2013, while playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), Gayle hit a 119-meter six against Pune Warriors. Although Gayle holds many other records in the IPL, his position on this list is relatively lower.
MS Dhoni, fully fit for IPL 2025, is likely to bat at No. 7 or 8, with his experience and wicketkeeping duties being pivotal for CSK.
Hitting a long six in the IPL is not just about setting a record but also about showcasing a player's power and technique. These huge sixes have made these players iconic in the history of the IPL and elevated their status as power hitters.
MS Dhoni's longest six was 118 meters, which he hit in 2009 while playing in an ODI against New Zealand. This six was one of the longest in cricket history.
