Top 5 players with highest balls/six ratio in IPL
Modern-day cricket has witnessed a lot of evolution across all the formats in which it is played. In today's times, shorter formats of cricket such as T20, T10, or ODIs are loved more than the typical test cricket.
These shorter formats need new methods and techniques and a player with a completely different mindset level. As in various short formats, T20 Leagues are emerging, and IPL is considered the most successful T20 league. These shorter formats require explosive and quick batting along with technical cricket. The power-hitters are an essential aspect of such formats. The potent of a power-hitter is mainly determined by the balls he takes to hit every consecutive six, which is also known as the Balls per Six ratios.
