The most beautiful and one of the India’s most beautiful cricket ground “Wankhede Stadium” hosts all the home games of Mumbai Indians, the stadium usually does not favour to bowler and it is known heaven for the batsman’s like Mumbai Indians have. The square boundaries of this ground are not as big as any other cricket ground. Due to the short dimensions of boundary rope it adds extra help in favour of batsman’s.
We cannot ignore Quality all-rounder’s Hardik Pandya and Kieron Pollard’s contribution for achieving this milestone for their franchise, also the kind of atmosphere Mumbai Indians camp provides to their players allows them to play their natural game which eventually helps in hitting some extra sixes.

Players like RCB have justifies their second position in the list of most sixes by team in IPL.
Just like Mumbai Indians Wankhede Stadium, RCB also plays their half of the games at Chinnaswamy Stadium where there almost no help for bowlers from the pitch. RCB’s former Captain Virat Kohli is the major reason behind the loyal fanbase and support they gets from their fans. Despite having an team full of superstars, Royal Challengers Bangalore is yet to lift their first IPL trophy.

3. Chennai Super Kings

Thala Ms Dhoni’s team Chennai Super Kings comes in 3rd position of elite list of Most Sixes In IPL By A Team by hitting 1,401 Sixes in the 223 IPL innings they played in ipl history. Chennai Super Kings is one of the most loving IPL team by the fans from all over the world. CSK has set many records in their IPL journey and they played most finals in IPL in the history of IPL.
Not only Mahendra Singh Dhoni’s Captaincy, But People are also fond of his hard hitting massive sixes which sometimes balls even go out of the ground.

Recent example is the 2023 IPL season where players like Shivam Dube and Ajinkya Rahane has smashed the long sixes in the stands.

Almost after every 2 or 3 season they changes their captain which might be the reason behind the not becoming the champions till date.
But when it comes to hittings sixes they are not behind from above successful team which I have mentioned. Punjab KIngs has always focused on buying the foreign hard hitting players like David Miller, Liam Livingstone, N. Pooran, Glenn Maxwell, Gayle, Virender Sehwag,etc. Which certainly helped the team to score the maximum sixes but not able to cross the line for the IPL championship.
