After LSG defeats CSK in the double header on April 23, the most sixes by a team in the IPL 2024
Tuesday, April 23, saw the duel of the sixes in the IPL 2024 at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai end in a tie. However, in match 39, the host team, the Chennai Super Kings, were taken by surprise when the Lucknow Super Giants defeated them by six wickets.
One of the best six-hitters of the last few seasons, Shivam Dube, struck seven sixes, while century-scorer Ruturaj Gaikwad of CSK added three more to lead his club to a formidable 210/4 total.
Following CSK vs. LSG on April 23, Marcus Stoinis and LSG felt they were favorites when the Australian all-rounder hammered his first IPL century, slamming six sixes throughout his innings to complete the chase in the penultimate over. However, Stoinis and LSG had other plans.
Although both teams advanced, they were still some ways behind Sunrisers Hyderabad, who led the IPL 2024 in most sixes by a team. SRH is just one game away from reaching a century of maximums and has played one less game than other teams.
In only 39 matches this season, more than 650 sixes have been hit, suggesting that the record for the most sixes in an IPL season may be broken. The previous year’s 74-game season set a record with 1124 sixes.
Mumbai Indians (MI) fell short of their goal of being the team with the most sixes in the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL) after losing to Rajasthan Royals (RR) by nine wickets at Sawai Mansingh Stadium in Jaipur earlier on Monday, April 22.
With SRH, Delhi Capitals, Kolkata Knight Riders, and Royal Challengers Bengaluru all scheduled to play in the next few days, the fight is expected to become more intense. After CSK vs. LSG in IPL 2024 Match 39, here is a look at the most sixes recorded by a side in the competition:
