The Indian Premier League has been a spectacle of the shortest format of the game. The glitz and the glamour have all played a part in the tournament becoming one of the biggest sports events in the world. One of the main elements of success in the IPL is the sixes and the distance they cover. The number of sixes hit every season have just increased in number as the seasons have progressed.
The cash-rich tournament has seen multiple players, reputed six-hitters or not, launch the ball metres into the air across the boundary. The long heaves add to the spectacle of the IPL and T20 cricket. With the 2026 edition of the cricketing extravaganza getting underway on March 28, CricTracker discusses six such players who have the prowess to hit the ball maximum distance.
Here are six players who can hit the longest sixes in IPL 2026
6. Tim David (Royal Challengers Bengaluru)
After a mixed bag of three seasons with the Mumbai Indians, Tim David moved to the Royal Challengers Bengaluru in 2025, with a lot of expectations on his shoulders. The tall big-hitting Aussie has built a reputation around the world as a powerful six-hitter, capable of clearing the ground with ease. He played a vital role as a finisher in RCB’s title triumph, with 187 runs striking at 185.14.
David launched a massive 100m six against the Punjab Kings at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium and with his big hitting credentials will be expected to put the ball out of the stadium with massive sixes.
