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. 

Bet here on IPL 2024 and other cricket matches!

Some of these sixes have been monstrous, especially from big-hitters like Heinrich Klassen and Nicholas Pooran.
