The Indian Premier League (IPL) has witnessed some extraordinary individual performances over the years, with batters lighting up the tournament with explosive innings. Among these breathtaking knocks, a key metric that defines dominance is the sheer number of boundaries struck. Here's a look at the players who have smashed the most boundaries in a single IPL innings:

1. Chris Gayle – 30 Boundaries (2013)

Arguably the most iconic knock in IPL history, Chris Gayle's 175* off 66 balls against Pune Warriors India in 2013 remains unbeaten. Representing Royal Challengers Bengaluru, the Jamaican powerhouse hit 13 fours and an incredible 17 sixes, single-handedly propelling RCB to a record total of 263/5.

2. Abhishek Sharma – 24 Boundaries (2025)

Sunrisers Hyderabad's young sensation Abhishek Sharma played the innings of his life in the ongoing 2025 season, smashing 14 fours and 10 sixes en route to 141 against Punjab Kings. His knock helped SRH chase a massive total with ease.

In a breakout season, Rajasthan Royals' Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 124 runs off just 62 balls against Mumbai Indians in 2023. With 16 fours and 8 sixes, he was a one-man army guiding RR to 212/7.

4. Brendon McCullum – 23 Boundaries (2008)

5. AB de Villiers – 23 Boundaries (2015)

One of the most versatile batters in IPL history, AB de Villiers tore apart Mumbai Indians’ bowling with 19 fours and 4 sixes in his 133* off 59 balls in 2015. His innings was a masterclass in timing and innovation.

6. Rishabh Pant – 22 Boundaries (2018)
