In the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Delhi Capitals on April 3, KKR was the first to score 272 runs, which was the second-highest score by any team in IPL history. In this match, David Warner and Prithvi Shaw started the innings for Delhi. Although Warner could only score 18 runs in 13 balls, he has taken another step forward towards a major record. He is now second in the list of batsmen who have hit the most sixes while chasing.
David Warner left Rohit Sharma behind
David Warner has been playing in the IPL since 2009 and has hit 113 sixes while chasing in his long career and now that number is set to rise much more. He scored a six in the match against KKR and has surpassed Rohit Sharma in this tally. Talking about the sixes that David Warner has hit in his IPL career, he has hit the ball over the boundary a total of 234 times till date. Coming third on this list is Rohit Sharma, who has hit 112 sixes in chases in the Indian Premier League so far.
In this case, at number four is Robin Uthappa, who has hit 110 sixes while chasing in IPL games. Shane Watson isn’t far behind on this list either, but he’s now retired. Watson also hit 110 sixes during the chase in his IPL career.
Who hit the most sixes in the chase?
David Warner is currently in second place when it comes to hitting the most sixes in the chase, but Chris Gayle, who is at the top, is well ahead of him. West Indies batsman Chris Gayle had hit a total of 156 sixes during the chase in his 13-year IPL career. Although Gayle has not played in the IPL for many years, it will be very difficult for other batsmen to break his record.
