The T20 format can be considered the harshest one when it comes to the bowlers. With the freedom of playing fearlessly, the batters capitalise on each and every opportunity to take down the bowlers and the shorter boundaries act like villains for them. 

Despite all this hammering, the bowlers manage to come out on top of the batters, but sometimes, they go for too many runs in the process of picking up a wicket. 

In the Indian Premier League, we have often seen teams scoring over 200 runs, which showcases nothing but cruelty to the bowlers. The fact that the shortest format of the game will produce a lot more maximum hits than that of the other two formats is pretty disheartening as well. 

At OneCricket, we have managed to find out the top 5 bowlers who have conceded the most number of sixes in the history of the IPL. Let's take a closer look at them. 


5. Amit Mishra - 182

Once Amit Mishra was considered among the best leg spinners produced by Indian cricket and was a prolific contributor while playing for the Indian team. But playing in the Indian Premier League has not been an easy ride, as comes fifth on the record for conceding the most sixes in the history of the Indian Premier League. 

When it comes to his IPL career, the 42-year-old has been part of Delhi Daredevils, Deccan Chargers, Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals and now the Lucknow Super Giants. 

In 161 appearances in the IPL, he has picked 173 wickets, but on the other hand, he went on to concede 182 sixes.


4. Ravichandran Ashwin - 189

One of the greatest off-spinners in the world, Ravichandran Ashwin have an unwanted record to his name as well. 

Despite being one of the most successful spinners from India, Ashwin's stats in the Indian Premier League are not as pleasing as his stats while playing for the national team, as he comes fourth on the list of conceding most sixes in the IPL. 

In his IPL career, Ashwin has represented Chennai Super Kings, Rising Pune Supergiants, Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and now, he is a crucial member of the Rajasthan Royals team. 

Out of his 202 IPL appearances, he has scalped 172 wickets and conceded 189 maximum hits, which puts him on the list of this unwanted record. 


3. Ravindra Jadeja - 199

The premier left-arm spinner of the Chennai Super Kings, Ravindra Jadeja will also find himself under the heavy bat of the batters. He may be a go-to bowler for the CSK team, but many of the batters have managed to take advantage of his speed and have punished him with a lot of sixes, as he comes third on the list of conceding most sixes in the IPL.

The all-rounder has been one of the foremost contributors to the CSK team in all three departments of the game. When it comes to bowling, the left-arm spinner has scalped 155 wickets in 202 innings and on the other hand, he has conceded 199 hits into the crowd, which puts his name under this unwanted record. 


2. Yuzvendra Chahal - 200

The foremost bowler of the Indian Premier League, Yuzvendra Chahal is the leading wicket-taker in the IPL. 

Being a wrist-spinner, Yuzi despite being impressive with the ball, there have been occasions, where he went for a truckload of runs, including big hits, which places him at the second position of the record. 

The leg-spinner started his IPL journey with the Mumbai Indians and became a major contributor for the Royal Challengers Bangalore. 

After being released a couple of seasons back, Yuzi came into the Rajasthan Royals team and became inevitable. Even though he has scalped 198 wickets in just 150 innings, but he has also conceded 200 sixes in the league so far. 


1. Piyush Chawla - 211

One of the leading wicket-takers of the IPL, Piyush Chawla excelled in the Indian Premier League and is considered among the underrated bowlers of the league. 

Like Chahal, Chawla also went for many runs despite being one of the best in the league and comes at the first spot when it comes to conceding the most sixes. 

In his IPL career, Chawla has represented Kings XI Punjab, Kolkata Knight Riders, Mumbai Indians and Chennai Super Kings. He has scalped 181 wickets in 185 games so far and even had a brilliant time in the 2023 season. 

But when it comes to sixes conceded, his deliveries have taken the aerial route 211 times, which is the most in the history of the IPL.
