Six runs. Two seconds of flight. And the whole stadium is on its feet.
IPL 2026 has already delivered some of the cleanest, longest hitting the tournament has seen in years.
The power numbers this season are worth tracking closely, not just for the spectacle, but because they tell you a lot about which batters are in peak form.

The Stories Behind the Numbers
Tim David – 106 Metres (RCB vs CSK)
This one cleared the boundary, cleared the advertising boards, and cleared any doubt about David being the biggest hitter at RCB right now.
He hit it at Chinnaswamy, which helps. The ground sits at roughly 900 metres above sea level, and the ball carries further than at sea-level venues.
But altitude alone does not explain 106 metres. That needs bat speed and perfect contact, both of which David delivered.
The shot came off a CSK full delivery, driven hard over long-on. David barely moved his feet. He just loaded up and swung through the line.
He is the most dangerous finisher at RCB this season, and this six is proof.
Cooper Connolly – 103 Metres (PBKS vs SRH)
Cooper Connolly is 22 years old and already hitting the ball nearly as far as anyone in this competition.
The Western Australian has been a revelation for the Punjab Kings. His 103-metre six at Mohali came against an SRH attack that does not give easy balls.
He created the opportunity himself, getting inside the line of a length delivery and hitting it wide of long-on with tremendous power.
His technique is unusually clean for a power-hitter. He stays tall, rotates well through the ball, and generates bat speed without over-swinging. At 103 metres, this is one of the best hits of the season.
Heinrich Klaasen – 99 Metres (SRH vs KKR)
Klaasen has been one of the most destructive batters in T20 cricket for three or four years now.
Eden Gardens is a big ground, and hitting a ball 99 metres there is not easy.
His six against KKR came from a short ball, angled into his body.
He swivelled and pulled it over deep square leg, using the pace of the delivery to generate most of the power.
The shot barely climbed above the stands before it disappeared into the crowd.
He is one metre short of the 100-metre mark on this list. Given his form, that will not last long.
Liam Livingstone – 97 Metres (SRH vs DC)
Livingstone has always been able to clear any boundary in the world from any position at the crease.
His 97-metre hit at the Arun Jaitley Stadium confirms that remains true in 2026.
The shot was hit off the back foot, stepping across his stumps to a full delivery outside off, and carted over deep midwicket.
It looked like a practice-match slog. It measured 97 metres.
SRH’s batting lineup is built around explosive hitting, and Livingstone and Klaasen together make them the most dangerous side in the competition when both are in form.
Rajat Patidar – 94 Metres (RCB vs CSK)
Patidar’s 94-metre six came in the same match as Tim David’s record hit. CSK had a rough evening at Chinnaswamy.
Patidar pulled a short ball over deep square leg, getting great height and a clean connection.
The ball carried well beyond the rope. He is a proper top-order batter now, not just a power-play specialist, and his hitting stats this season back that up.
Sameer Rizvi – 92 Metres (MI vs GT)
Sameer Rizvi at 92 metres in front of a full house at Narendra Modi Stadium is one of the images of IPL 2026 so far.
He is young, he has a short backlift, and he hits the ball very hard.
His six against GT came off a wide full toss, muscled over extra cover with a flat, powerful drive.
The distance surprised people. It should not have. He has been hitting the ball like this in practice for months.
Mumbai has a serious talent on its hands.
Marcus Stoinis – 91 Metres (LSG vs RR)
Stoinis is not always the most elegant batter in the lineup, but he is effective.
His 91-metre six at Sawai Mansingh Stadium came from a length delivery, driven over long-off with a high elbow and full extension.
He used the pace of the pitch well. Jaipur produces true bounce, and Stoinis used it to get the ball airborne quickly.
LSG will need that hitting ability in the back half of the tournament.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi – 90 Metres (RR vs MI)
This is the entry that needs context.
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was born in 2011. He is 14 years old. And he hit a 90-metre six at Wankhede Stadium against the Mumbai Indians’ bowling attack.
The shot was a pull off a short ball, hit with far more power than any 14-year-old has the right to generate.
He got into position early, stayed back, and cleared the deep square leg boundary without a hint of mistiming.
He is the youngest player to appear in this list’s history, and probably the most talked-about teenager in world cricket right now.
Andre Russell – 89 Metres (KKR vs SRH)
Russell at Eden Gardens. Again.
He has been hitting sixes at this ground since IPL 2014, and the 2026 version looks no slower.
His 89-metre hit against SRH came off a good-length ball, which most batters defend or push for a single. Russell hit it over deep square leg for six.
The bat speed is still there. The bottom-hand release is still devastating.
At 37, he remains one of the hardest hitters in T20 cricket.
Riyan Parag – 88 Metres (RR vs LSG)
Riyan Parag completes the top ten with an 88-metre pull shot at his home ground in Jaipur.
He has developed significantly as a batter over the past two seasons.
The shot against LSG showed composure as much as power.
He waited on the short ball, stayed side-on, and got into a strong position before pulling it over midwicket.
Rajasthan Royals have three players in the top ten this season. That is not a coincidence. They pick batters who can hit.
Which Teams Dominate the Longest Sixes Chart?
| Team | Players in Top 10 | Best Distance |

| Royal Challengers Bengaluru | 2 (David, Patidar) | 106m |
| Sunrisers Hyderabad | 2 (Klaasen, Livingstone) | 99m |
| Punjab Kings | 1 (Connolly) | 103m |
| Mumbai Indians | 1 (Rizvi) | 92m |
| Lucknow Super Giants | 1 (Stoinis) | 91m |
| Kolkata Knight Riders | 1 (Russell) | 89m |
RR leads on volume with three entries. RCB leads in distance. SRH have two of the four longest hits from overseas players.
IPL 2026 vs the All-Time Record
The all-time IPL record is 125 metres, hit by Albie Morkel in 2008. That record has now stood for 18 seasons.
Tim David’s 106 metres this season is the closest any batter has come to it in recent IPL history.
He is still 19 metres short, but the gap is narrowing. Better bats, better fitness programmes, and more explosive T20 specialists mean the 125-metre mark may not survive another five or six seasons.
| Milestone | Player | Distance | Season |
|---|---|---|---|
| All-time IPL record | Albie Morkel | 125m | 2008 |
| IPL 2026 season leader | Tim David | 106m | 2026 |
| Gap to all-time record | – | 19m | – |

Tim David of Royal Challengers Bengaluru hit the longest six of IPL 2026, measuring 106 metres against CSK at M. Chinnaswamy Stadium.
- What is the longest six ever hit in IPL history?
Albie Morkel holds the all-time IPL record with a 125-metre six, hit in 2008. No player has matched it in the 18 seasons since.
- How old is Vaibhav Suryavanshi?
Vaibhav Suryavanshi was born in 2011 and is 14 years old. His 90-metre six against the Mumbai Indians at Wankhede Stadium makes him one of the youngest players to feature on the IPL’s longest sixes list.
- Which team has the most players in the top 10 longest sixes of IPL 2026?
Rajasthan Royals lead with three players in the top 10 (Suryavanshi, Russell, Parag). RCB and SRH each have two.
- Does playing at Chinnaswamy give batters an advantage for distance?
Yes. M. Chinnaswamy Stadium sits at roughly 900 metres above sea level. The ball travels further in thinner air, which can add a few metres to a big hit. Both of RCB’s top-10 entries came from this ground.
- Will the longest six record be broken before IPL 2026 ends?
It is possible. The league stage is not finished, and several high-altitude or hitter-friendly grounds still have matches left. Tim David (106m) is the current leader, but players like Klaasen and Livingstone are capable of going further on the right delivery.
Conclusion:
Tim David’s 106-metre six is the longest hit in IPL 2026.
Behind him, Cooper Connolly’s 103-metre effort from Mohali is one of the cleanest and most under-discussed big hits of the season.
With the league stage ongoing and grounds like Wankhede and Chinnaswamy still hosting matches, the top of this list could change.
Any of these ten players, or someone currently outside it, has the ability to push the record higher.
