With the 2026 season of the prestigious Indian Premier League (IPL) underway in India, like every other season, this year, the tournament has also showcased some of the explosive batting talent available. Although it doesn’t come as much of a surprise, several players have come up to breach exciting milestones, one of them being the fastest to hit 100 sixes. Although the record was last broken in IPL 2024 by Shivam Dube, young batters in Yashasvi Jaiswal and Abhishek Sharma also joined the list this year.
Here in this article, we have listed the fastest Indian players to complete 100 sixes in IPL, once again showcasing their consistency to score runs at a brisk rate and their ability to dominate the bowlers.
3 Fastest Indians to hit 100 sixes in IPL
Shivam Dube (100 sixes in 59 innings)
Indian all-rounder Shivam Dube, who is currently plying his trade for five-time champions, Chennai Super Kings, is the fastest Indian to get to 100 sixes by innings. Dube achieved this feat in IPL 2024 in CSK’s game against Gujarat Titans at the Narendra Modi Stadium. The 32-year-old got to 100 sixes in IPL off 992 balls and became the fastest Indian to reach the landmark, surpassing Hardik Pandya, who reached 100 sixes off 1046 balls.
Rishabh Pant (100 sixes in 62 innings)
Following Shivam Dube, sits Rishabh Pant, the Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) skipper. The Indian wicketkeeper-batter took 62 innings to complete 100 sixes and at the time of writing, he had already smashed 170 sixes in 127 matches, amassing 3628 runs.
KL Rahul (100 sixes in 68 innings)
KL Rahul, the veteran Indian wicketkeeper-batter, who features in Delhi Capitals (DC) colours, completed 100 sixes way long back in just 68 innings. In IPL 2025, he instead completed 200 sixes in the cash-rich league, joining the likes of Rohit Sharma and Chris Gayle. While he became the sixth Indian cricketer to achieve the elusive milestone, he was the fastest among Indian players (129 innings) and third overall after Chris Gayle and Andre Russell.
