MS Dhoni has smashed the most number of sixes (167) in the death overs in the Indian Premier League and holds the incredible record. Windies and Mumbai Indians\u2019 cricketer Kieron Pollard, who recently retired from the International cricket, stands second on the list with 143 sixes. AB de Villiers ranks third in the standing with 140 sixes.<\/p>\n
