The longest six of IPL 2026 was a 106-metre strike, jointly hit by three players — Tilak Varma, Tim David, and David Miller. Across the season, batters repeatedly cleared boundaries with towering hits, with a total of over 1,400 sixes struck in the tournament. Several strikes crossed the 100-metre mark, turning grounds like the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala and the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru into launchpads for some of the biggest hitting the league has seen in years.

Conclusion
IPL 2026 featured plenty of massive six hitting that the tournament has seen in years, with Tilak Varma, Tim David, and David Miller co-topping the longest six list with 106-metre hits. Jacob Bethell, Cooper Connolly, Mitchell Marsh, Donovan Ferreira, Nicholas Pooran, Rajat Patidar, and Aniket Verma completed a list that included a mixture of established internationals and emerging young stars. While the season’s biggest hitters routinely sent shots over the 100-metre mark, no batter was able to break Albie Morkel’s long-standing record for the longest six in IPL history. Morkel’s 125-metre shot, struck way back in 2008, still holds strong but isn’t safe forever. With shorter boundaries at grounds like the Chinnaswamy, ever-powerful modern bats, and flatter batting surfaces, we may see that record broken in seasons to come.
