Player-by-Player Breakdown
1. Tim David (RCB) – 106 Metres vs CSK
Tim David’s six against CSK was not just the longest of this season. It was the kind of hit that makes fielders flinch before the ball has even left the bat.
Playing at Chinnaswamy, a ground already known for favoring batters, David connected with a full delivery and sent it soaring over long-on. The ball cleared not just the boundary rope but the advertising boards too.
David has always been a clean striker. This season, he has added better shot selection to his raw power, making him one of the most dangerous finishers in the competition.
2. Cooper Connolly (PBKS) – 103 Metres vs SRH
The 103-metre six from Cooper Connolly turned heads. The young Australian has been one of the surprises of IPL 2026 for the Punjab Kings.
He hit this one at Mohali against an SRH bowling attack that has dismissed much bigger names with far less trouble. Connolly backed himself, stayed tall, and launched it over wide long-on.
At just 22, he has the kind of technique that turns raw power into consistent distance.
3. Heinrich Klaasen (SRH) – 99 Metres vs KKR
Klaasen barely missed the 100-metre mark, but 99 metres at Eden Gardens is still elite company.
The South African wicketkeeper-batter has been in fine form for SRH this season. He is difficult to contain once he gets going, and KKR found that out the hard way.
His six came off a short ball, hit with that trademark bottom-hand release that sends the ball flying towards cow corner.
4. Liam Livingstone (SRH) – 97 Metres vs DC
Livingstone’s 97-metre six at the Arun Jaitley Stadium is no surprise. He is probably the best leg-side hitter in world cricket right now.
Against Delhi Capitals, he stepped across his stumps and dispatched a wide yorker-length ball over deep midwicket. The combination of footwork and timing made it look easier than it was.
SRH have built their batting around players like Klaasen and Livingstone, and both are delivering.
5. Rajat Patidar (RCB) – 94 Metres vs CSK
Two RCB batters in the top five tells you something about what Chinnaswamy does to bowlers.
Patidar’s 94-metre hit came in the same match where David hit his 106-metre record.
He pulled a short ball over deep square leg, getting great height and distance on it.
He has looked in excellent touch this season, and his power numbers are among the best for RCB.
6. Sameer Rizvi (MI) – 92 Metres vs GT
Sameer Rizvi is one of the younger names on this list, and his 92-metre six at Narendra Modi Stadium was a proper coming-of-age moment.
The Mumbai Indians youngster connected against GT bowling and cleared the deep midwicket boundary with room to spare.
His emergence as a power-hitting option in the MI middle order is one of the talking points of IPL 2026.
7. Marcus Stoinis (LSG) – 91 Metres vs RR
Stoinis brings a straightforward approach to big hitting. He loads up, drives through the line, and gets the ball airborne fast.
His 91-metre six at Sawai Mansingh Stadium came off a length delivery, driven over long-off with real authority.
Lucknow Super Giants have used him well this season, getting him into positions where he can dictate terms.
8. Vaibhav Suryavanshi (RR) – 90 Metres vs MI
Vaibhav Suryavanshi’s name on this list is a story in itself.
At just 14 years old, he cleared the Wankhede boundary for 90 metres against the Mumbai Indians.
The shot drew comparisons to some of the most powerful teenage hitters the IPL has ever seen.
He gets into position early, which gives him time to generate serious bat speed.
Rajasthan Royals have backed him heavily, and so far, he is repaying that faith.
9. Andre Russell (KKR) – 89 Metres vs SRH
Russell at Eden Gardens is always a spectacle.
The KKR allrounder has been hitting sixes at the same ground for years, but his 89-metre effort against SRH reminded everyone why he remains one of the best T20 hitters in the world.
He does not need a full delivery. A good-length ball, even a short one, can disappear when Russell is in rhythm. This one went over deep square leg with alarming speed.
10. Riyan Parag (RR) – 88 Metres vs LSG
Riyan Parag rounds out the top ten with an 88-metre hit at Sawai Mansingh Stadium.
Parag has developed into one of the more complete batters in the Rajasthan lineup.
His game has more options than a few years ago, but when the moment calls for power, he delivers.
His six against LSG was a pull shot, hit with great control and plenty of carry.
Venue Impact on Longest Sixes in IPL 2026
Not all grounds are equal. The table below shows how many top-10 hits happened at each venue.
| Venue | Six Count | Notable Feature |
|---|---|---|
| M. Chinnaswamy Stadium | 2 | High altitude, fast outfield |
| Sawai Mansingh Stadium | 2 | Shorter square boundaries |
| Eden Gardens | 2 | Large ground, still two top-10 hits |
| Maharaja Yadavindra Singh Stadium | 1 | Flat pitch, true bounce |
| Arun Jaitley Stadium | 1 | Firm surface, clear carry |
| Narendra Modi Stadium | 1 | Massive ground, impressive distance |
| Wankhede Stadium | 1 | Sea-level favors pace |
Chinnaswamy and Sawai Mansingh both produced two top-10 hits.
The Chinnaswamy numbers are partly explained by altitude and the fast outfield, but the sheer ball-striking from David and Patidar cannot be reduced to just the venue.
How Does IPL 2026 Compare to All-Time IPL Records?
The all-time IPL record belongs to Albie Morkel, who hit a 125-metre six in 2008. That record has stood for 17 years.
Tim David’s 106 metres in 2026 is the closest anyone has come to that mark in recent seasons.
It still sits 19 metres short, but bat technology, fitness standards, and T20 batting skills have all improved significantly.
| Record | Player | Distance | Year |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-time IPL record | Albie Morkel | 125m | 2008 |
| IPL 2026 season record | Tim David | 106m | 2026 |
| IPL 2025 season record | To be confirmed | – | 2025 |
With the tournament still in the league stage and several power-hitting specialists yet to play at their best grounds, the 2026 record could move higher before the season ends.
What Makes a Six Go the Furthest?
Three things separate a 90-metre hit from a 106-metre one.
- Bat speed. The faster the bat is moving at contact, the more energy is transferred to the ball. Gym work and technique both feed into this.
- Connection point. Middle of the bat, slightly towards the toe, gives the best combination of distance and height. An edge or a top edge rarely travels as far.
- Launch angle. The ideal launch angle for maximum distance is roughly 25-35 degrees. Too flat, and the ball hits the ground early. Too high and it hangs in the air.
Tim David, Cooper Connolly, and Liam Livingstone all hit the ball hard, clean, and at the right angle. That is why they are at the top of this list.
