Longest Six In Cricket By An India Player In IPL History

While talking about the cricket history, Indian cricket players are not known to be power-hitters in any of the three formats of the game. However, the Indian Premier League (IPL) is one such platform where players get the freedom to showcase their respective talent and big-hitting skills with complete freedom. In the last 16 editions of the IPL, many of the players, both batters and bowlers have emerged as sensational six-hitters. With every next IPL season, the number of sixes being hit in the entire T20 tournament keeps on increasing. In this blog, check out the top five longest six in cricket by an India player in the IPL history and it is quiet bewildering that Mumbai Indians' senior opening batsman Rohit Sharma is not part of this esteemed tally.

Cricket is a popular sport

Cricket is a popular sport played between two teams, typically consisting of eleven players each. It originated in England and has a long history, with its earliest known reference dating back to the 16th century. The game is played on a circular or oval-shaped field, with a 22-yard-long pitch at its center. The primary objective is to score more runs than the opposing team.

Basic Rules:

Teams and Players: Each team has eleven players, including batsmen, bowlers, fielders, and a wicketkeeper.

Innings: A game of cricket is divided into innings, where one team bats and tries to score runs while the other team bowls and fields to restrict the runs and dismiss the batsmen.

Runs: Runs are scored by the batting team by hitting the ball and running between the wickets or by hitting the ball to the boundary.

Wickets: The fielding team tries to get the batsmen out through various methods like bowling the ball and hitting the stumps (wicket), catching the ball after the batsman hits it, or running the batsman out.

Overs: An over consists of six legal deliveries bowled by a bowler. In limited-overs cricket (such as One Day Internationals and T20s), each team is limited to a set number of overs, usually 50 and 20 respectively.

Formats: Cricket is played in various formats, including Test matches (the longest format, lasting up to five days), One Day Internationals (50 overs per side), and T20 Internationals (20 overs per side).

Key Positions:

Batsman: Player who tries to score runs by hitting the ball.

Bowler: Player who delivers the ball to the batsman.

Wicketkeeper: Player who stands behind the stumps to catch the ball if the batsman misses.

Fielder: Players positioned around the field to catch the ball, stop runs, or get the batsman out.

Popularity and Culture:

Cricket is immensely popular in countries like India, Australia, England, Pakistan, South Africa, and the West Indies, among others. Major international tournaments like the Cricket World Cup, ICC T20 World Cup, and the Ashes series draw millions of viewers globally. The sport has a rich tradition and a significant cultural impact, especially in countries where cricket is considered more than just a game, influencing social and cultural norms.

Cricket is more than just a sport; it's a way of life for many enthusiasts around the world, promoting teamwork, strategy, and fair play.

Longest Six In Cricket History

In the ’90s, hitting sixes in any format was a luxury but continuous changes in rules like restrictions on bouncers and the introduction of two balls from two ends along with batting-friendly wickets have made cricket a batting-oriented game. Smashing a six is easy but there have been a few players who deal with boundaries and give all the power in every shot to send the ball a mile. In this…

Tough task ahead

With nine games to go it looks a tough task for North End to reach the top six even though we have a game in hand. Norwich sit five points above us in sixth place going into this international break and with West Brom ten points ahead of us it seems realistic to say that only sixth spot is open. Hull and Coventry sit two points and one point above us, respectively and with Middlesbrough two points behind us and played a game more it looks like Hull, Coventry, Norwich and ourselves in the fight for the play off place. Having said all of that if we had beaten Stoke the Saturday before last we might well be having a different conversation so it shows how quick things can change in the Championship. We will look a bit more at North Ends Easter programme next week but with Rotherham, Birmingham, Watford and Huddersfield as our next four games it seems pretty clear that the next three weeks or so will give us an idea of where we are ahead of what could be a massive game at Home to Norwich on April 13th. Much debate goes on as to whether we are punching above our weight but I actually dont think we are. The table never lies and we are where we are on merit in spite of the bigger budgets that other clubs have squandered.

Last Saturday we made the longest journey of the season to play Plymouth Argyle with the 600 mile round trip being made worthwhile as Liam Millar`s goal secured all three points. It was great to see over 1,000 North End fans inside Home Park and the travelling faithful gave North End fabulous support from the first whistle to the last. In all honest it was a game North End should have won much much more comfortably than they did. It was a drizzly damp day but North End always had that little bit extra whether it be quality on the ball or the tenacity in the middle of the park typified by my man of the match, Ryan Ledson. Plymouth should have been down to ten after an horrendous tackle by Miller but once again a referee in the Championship got a major decision wrong. It appear it is something we expect and are getting used to but I have to that the general standard of refereeing in the second tier this season is as bad as I have ever seen it.

With it being the International break this weekend my thoughts turn to England and a couple of high profile friendlies over the break against Brazil and Belgium both at Wembley. I think it is fair to say that both our visitors are going through a transition period and England should be mindful of this whatever the results are. The pressure is certainly building towards the 2024 Euros and Gareth Southgate will be expected to reach the final, probably against France if we miss each other on the way. If we are being honest we should have won the Euros in 2021 but we gave an aging Italian side far too much respect in the final. I do think it is a measure of how far we have come that we no expect to be in there at the death and I think history will look kindly on the current England manager once he has passed the baton on.

And finally this week:- what a great FA Cup quarter final the game was on Sunday between Manchester United and Liverpool. The FA Cup is, without doubt, the greatest cup competition in the world but the greedy FA have once again sold out meaning that from the 2025/26 season the Cup will only be shown on TNT. The FA Cup looks like going the way that test match cricket went as the TV rights were sold off to the highest bidder. The are some sporting events that are for the people and should be free to air no matter what. The Football Association Cup stands very high up in that list of sporting events.
