The 2024 edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is already approaching the halfway mark, and we have had some record-breaking displays already.
Batsmen have taken six-hitting to a completely different level this year, with players clearing grounds with as much ease as shouldering arms to a ball well outside the off stumps.
However, it's not just the amount of sixes, but also the distance that the ball travels which has been outrageous.

Some of these sixes have been monstrous, especially from big-hitters like Heinrich Klassen and Nicholas Pooran.
Who hit the longest six in Indian Premier League 2024?
The biggest six of the 2024 season of IPL so far has come from the bat of MS Dhoni as the CSK legend hit RCB's Yash Daya out of the park in their final game of the league stage.
