New Delhi. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are two such star cricketers of India who are always compared. In the eyes of the fans, Rohit's image is of an attacking batsman who hits long sixes. In contrast, Virat's image is of a batsman who takes the game to the last overs and does not hit many sixes. But it is not necessary that the image is the truth. Especially when we look at the statistics of hitting sixes between Rohit and Virat, both are almost at par.
Chris Gayle is at the top in terms of hitting the most sixes in IPL. He has hit 357 sixes in 142 matches. There are three Indian batsmen after Gayle. Rohit Sharma has hit 280, Virat Kohli has hit 272 and MS Dhoni has hit 252 sixes. There is no doubt that Chris Gayle's record looks safe in 2025 but a race for the second position can be seen between Rohit and Virat.
Comparing the numbers, one more thing becomes clear that Virat Kohli has scored more runs and hit more sixes than Rohit in the last few years. Kohli scored 741 runs in 15 matches in 2024, which included 38 sixes. Rohit could score only 417 runs in 14 matches this year. He hit 23 sixes in 2024, which was 15 less than Virat. If Virat Kohli maintains this gap in 2025, then there is no doubt that he will surpass Rohit Sharma in terms of hitting the most sixes.
MS Dhoni may be at number four in the list of most sixes, but he is almost out of the race for the second position. Reason- Dhoni has been batting very low for the last one-two years. Because of this, he does not get many overs to bat.
