Most boundaries in IPL: Virat Kohli closes in on milestone 1000 fours and sixes in league | Ipl News

The IPL has over the years evolved to become a synonym of boundary-hitting with several international superstars dominating the charts over the years. While West Indies legend pummelled bowlers to dominate the sixes count, India superstar Virat Kohli evolved from a batter who could smash fours at will to one of the most successful six-hitters in the IPL.
Kohli now holds the record for the most sixes struck at a single, having surpassed Gayle’s tally of 127 sixes at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. Kohli is the third-highest six-hitter in the league, only behind Gayle and India teammate Rohit Sharma. The 36-year-old, who recently went past the 13,000 runs in T20 cricket, has also smashed over 720 fours in the IPL, only bettered former India batter Shikhar Dhawan who leads the charts with 768 fours.
However, Kohli is on the cusp of becoming the first batter to hit 1000 boundaries (4s plus 6s) in the IPL, currently possessing 998 boundaries on the back of 278 sixes and 720 fours in the league. Here’s a look at the l of the best boundary-hitters in the league:
