IPL: 5 players who are capable of hitting 6 sixes in an over in the IPL

Indian Premier League has turned into a batsmen's game over the years. The tournament which is played in the 2 months of the Indian summer has raised the bar of the T20 cricket being played around the globe.

Without any doubt, power-hitters are the impact players in the T20 cricket and they are the biggest crowd pullers particularly in the IPL. It's the names like AB de Villiers and Chris Gayle because of whom people throng to the stadiums. And this is one of the biggest reasons that power-hitters are being paid handsomely in the IPL.

Hitting 6 sixes in 6 consecutive balls is a feat that hasn't been achieved in the IPL so far. But, with the kind of cricket being played these days, it won't be surprising if a player makes it 6 in a row.

Here are the 5 top contenders who are capable of hitting 6 sixes in a row in the IPL:

#5 Rishabh Pant

Rishabh Pant, the Delhi boy is one of the hardest hitters of the ball of the present generation. Pant is capable of hitting even the best of the deliveries out of the park. He was the first player retained by the Delhi Daredevils this year and has proved the decision to be rightful.

He has got a wide range of shots in his bag and executes the right one at the right moment. He does not fear to go big against even the best of the bowlers, one of the examples being him hitting 26 runs off an over of Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the ongoing season. He hit Kumar for 2 fours and 3 sixes in a row.

Pant has been consistent this year and has scored 582 runs at a strike rate of 179.62 and an average of 52.90. He is placed 3rd on the list of the highest run scorers in the season and has hit the highest number of boundaries in the tournament so far.

He slammed a century off just 32 deliveries against Himachal Pradesh in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy held earlier this year which is the second fastest in T20 cricket. With such hard-hitting capabilities, he is definitely capable of hitting 6 sixes in a row.
