The Indian Premier League (IPL) is the biggest Indian sports extravaganza happening every year. IPL is very famous for its rich glamour, world-class players and breathtaking batting and bowling performances. Here, we are going through the batters with the most IPL fours.
Boundaries, which consists of fours and sixes, is a powerful part of cricket as batters try to hit as much as possible to move the scoreboard quickly. Fours, which are known as boundaries that travel with at least one bounce before the rope, have the power to move the scoreboard in the second fastest way.
Here is the list of the top 5 batters with the most number of fours hit in the history of IPL so far (Updated as of IPL 2024).
5. Suresh Raina
Former Indian cricketer Suresh Raina was a T20 specialist cricketer. Playing for the national side as well as in the IPL, he made some exceptional knocks. Playing in a total of 205 matches and scoring a total of 5528 runs, the left-handed batter was previously the leading run-scorer in the IPL history. Raina hit 506 IPL fours.
4. Rohit Sharma
Indian cricketer Rohit Sharma is a legendary batter in the white-ball format, who dominated the second half of his international career as a dominant opener. The right-handed batter now plays destructive roles with the bat, which has a risk or reward result for his team, but he is widely successful in his present powerful role.
