Power & finesse! Virat Kohli surpasses MS Dhoni's record of 239 maximums in Most Sixes in IPL list

Kohli is now fourth on the list of batters with the most sixes in the history of the league after Chris Gayle, Rohit Sharma, and AB de Villiers. 

Who would have thought that Virat Kohli would have hit more sixes in the IPL than MS Dhoni? The elegant batter is known more for his finesse and skill than his power. However, this record is a testament to the batter’s determination to evolve and become a better version of himself.

With 237 sixes to his name in 239 matches, the former Royal Challengers Bangalore skipper needed just three maximums to cross the legendary wicketkeeper’s tally and move to the fourth spot. He emphatically reached the milestone mark, hitting Varun Chakaravarthy for a massive six over deep mid-wicket.
