IPL Feature :Bowlers who gave most sixes in an IPL season
List of the bowlers who failed to defend and conceded the most sixes in their IPL history
Recently in qualifier 2 of this season, Mohammed Siraj and Wanindu Hasaranga set an unwanted record of conceding 31 and 30 sixes, respectively, the most sixes for any bowler in a single IPL season
Piyush Chawla: - The right-arm spinner has been one of the most successful bowlers in IPL History. He ranks 6th in the list of most wickets in IPL, having registered 157 wickets in his IPL career of 165 matches. Apart from the wickets, the bowler tops the charts in conceding most sixes, i.e., 182 sixes in 164 games, with an economy rate of 7.88. He played his last match for Mumbai Indians in 2021 and took just one wicket averaging 38.
Amit Mishra: - The former Indian leg-spinner has always remained a vital part of the Delhi Capitals camp. The 39-year-old spinner has the most hat-tricks in the tournament and 166 wickets in 154 matches. Despite being one of the successful spinners, the bowler couldn't escape the aggression of attacking batters, making him land second in the list of most sixes. The bowler has conceded 175 sixes but still maintained an economy of 7.35. This speaks volumes of his talent and capabilities on-field.
Yuzvendra Chahal: - This wrist-spinner is considered one of the best bowlers in the Indian cricket team and IPL. Previously he played for Royal Challengers Bangalore, but in this 15th season of IPL, he is playing for Rajasthan Royals and is one of their leading wicket-takers. So far in his IPL career, he has taken 165 wickets with 7.64. But at the same time has been smacked for 174 sixes making his 6s per inning ratio climb to 1.34. The bowler is running second in the race for a purple cap this season.
Ravindra Jadeja: - Ravindra Jadeja, the left-handed all-rounder of the Indian cricket team, has been a go-to-man for skipper MS Dhoni in times of need. He played for Chennai Super Kings for a long time and delivered crucial knocks and outstanding bowling performance for the team. Despite being a versatile and sound performer, he still ranks on this unwanted list of conceded sixes by bowlers. Jadeja has conceded about 173 sixes in 210 matches, i.e., 0.96 sixes per innings. With an economy rate of 7.61, he has also picked 132 wickets in his IPL career.
Ravichandran Ashwin: - The 35-year-old right-armed all-rounder is seen playing as a spin bowling partner of Yuzvendra Chahal for Rajasthan Royals. In his IPL career, the bowler has been smacked with 165 sixes in around 183 Indian Premier League matches. This makes his 6s per inning ratio of 0.93. So far, he has scalped around 157 wickets with an economy rate of 6.96 in his IPL career. He has represented many teams in his long IPL career
