Player to Hit Most 4s in IPL
The IPL is all about hitting as many boundaries as possible, whether it’s sixes or fours. These powerful shots excite the audience in the stands, compelling them to jump out of their seats, cheer, and encourage the players. Some players, like Chris Gayle and Andre Russell, have earned fame for their ability to hit sixes, while others, like David Warner, Virat Kohli, and Shikhar Dhawan, have become known for their clever boundaries through fours. These players consistently score runs, and if you look at their past performances, you’ll notice that they often score in the 30s, 40s, and 50s, with more fours than sixes.
