Big hitting Russell
9. The number of Indian Premier League (IPL) batters who have the distinction of smashing 200 or more sixes during their careers. KKR’s Andre Russell, known for his big hitting, became the latest entrant to join this elite group of maximum hitters in IPL cricket history during his unbeaten 64 in 25 balls, with seven sixes and three fours against SRH at the Eden Gardens on 23 March 2024. What is remarkable among this particular group of IPL players is that Russell took the fewest balls to reach the 200 sixes landmark. He needed 1322 balls to hit the 200th maximum of his IPL career, which translates to hitting a six every seven balls.
