Sanju Samson is in tremendous form at the moment. He also played a strong innings against Delhi Capitals on Tuesday. Although he could have completed his century, he gave it up in the interest of the team. In all, he hit six sixes during the match. With this Sanju has left David Warner behind. It would not be surprising if he surpasses AB de Villiers in the coming matches.
Sanju hit six sixes against Delhi Capitals
Sanju Samson scored 87 runs on 52 balls in the Delhi Capitals vs Chennai Super Kings match in IPL. He hit seven fours and six sixes. He did not get out till the end and returned unbeaten after leading his team to victory. With this, Samson has now reached sixth position in the list of batsmen who have hit the most sixes in the history of IPL.
Chris Gayle has hit the most sixes in the history of IPL, Rohit Sharma is at second place.
The record of hitting the most sixes in the history of the Indian Premier League is in the name of Chris Gayle. He has hit 357 sixes. Now he has retired from IPL also. Rohit Sharma is at second place with 317 sixes. Rohit is the closest to breaking Chris Gayle’s record, but it will take time for him to reach number one. Virat Kohli is at third place with 306 sixes. MS Dhoni has hit 264 sixes so far. Dhoni has not played a single match this year, otherwise he would have hit more sixes than this. AB de Villiers is at number 5 with 251 sixes. Meanwhile, Sanju Samson has now reached number 6.
Sanju Samson left David Warner behind
Sanju Samson, who played IPL for CSK this year, has completed 240 sixes. So far this year, he has managed to hit 21 sixes. If this trend continues, he will soon leave AB de Villiers behind. For this Sanju needs only 12 more sixes. CSK still has to play at least four more matches this season, in which they can only hit so many sixes. If CSK reaches top 4 then there will be more chances for them.
KL Rahul has also completed 232 sixes
David Warner has now moved to number seven. He has hit 236 sixes. Sanju has defeated David Warner in the match played against Delhi itself. He hit six sixes in this match. Soon KL Rahul can also overtake David Warner. Rahul has hit 232 sixes so far. That means as soon as he hits five more sixes, Rahul will leave Warner behind. That means there is a war going on between Rahul and Sanju also. Which can be very interesting in the coming times.
