There is hardly any doubt about the fact that the Indian Premier League has emerged, ever since its inception way back in the year 2008 until the present day, as the most important T20 franchise league in the world. It could be argued that the IPL today has risen as the most significant T20 league as also the most marketed or talked about contest in the game's briefest format.
Seventeen plus years is not only the mark of success of the league given those who immediately contribute on the turf, but even the entire paraphernalia that have ensured IPL's continued growth. This includes the communicators, commentators, expert media anlysts, umpires as well as those who are furthering the growth of the sensation that is the IPL.
However, what is also way more than some modicum of truth is that it is the batters who have lorded over the famed franchise competition with rich aplomb. While surely as a sport the batters and bowlers always raise the game striking a great balance between the two different skills, the format leans towards the batsmen.
And it's the batsmen who have, in these past seventeen years, made huge contributions towards extending or furthering the appeal of the Indian Premier Legue around the world. Long, tall, eye popping hits; crazy sixes muscled from the middle of the bat and great ball-striking to different parts of the ground have led to a barrage of hits that the IPL has accmulated all these years.
There have been talismanic batters from around the world including Gayle, AB de Villiers, Watson, Warner, Dhoni and Kohli themselves who have helped further the enigma of batters in the IPL. And each season, there's been a specific award extended to those who ensure that the format entertains as much as it thrills. It's called the IPL Maximum sixes award. And this, from the inception of the maiden season, circa 2008, has seen some commendable names emerge with the top honours.
Let us, therefore, find out the names who have won the IPL maximum sixes award from the start of the franchise competion, keeping in mind that the ongoing season, now in its business end, will see at the end of the day, the winner of the 2025 award.
