The Indian Premier League 2026 (IPL 2026) has witnessed several colossal sixes in the season so far, as batters have cleared the fence with utmost ease, with all their might and big willows. The ongoing edition has witnessed 1116 sixes after 59 matches, with batters putting on a show for the crowd with their flashing blades

While many sixes have held special significance in the season, few have stood out for the massive distance they’ve travelled after being hit. As many as five sixes have travelled over 104 metres in IPL 2026, with modern-day batters putting their ruthless power on display.

Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) batter Tim David hit the longest six of the season against Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in Match 11 at the M.  Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. David slammed Jamie Overton for a whopping 106 metres over deep square leg.

Apart from him, David Miller and Tilak Varma also managed to achieve the same distance later in the season. 


Here's the list of the longest sixes of IPL 2026:
