The IPL has provided us with numerous unforgettable moments like close finishes, hat-tricks, and of course, huge sixes that leave crowd awe-struck. But there is one shot that stands above the rest in terms of distance. Can you guess who hit it? A Big Hit at M.A. Chidambaram Chennai Super Kings faced Deccan Chargers in match number 26 of the tournament at MA Chidambaram Stadium back in IPL 2008. The game was already on in full gear when CSK's big-impact all-rounders walked to the crease. Deccan Chargers' left-arm spinner came on to bowl the 17th over, and there was anticipation of some fireworks toward the end by the crowd. On the second ball of the same over, the spinner of Deccan Chargers bowled a shorter delivery to which the CSK all-rounder hammered it for a massive six. The left-hander cleared his front-foot and smoked it over the deep mid-wicket boundary. The ball kept sailing over the roofs, forcing the officials to bring in a new ball to resume the game.

The majority of sixes in T20 cricket cover distances between 70 and 90 meters, so this shot was really special and humongous. Who was the player who smashed the longest six in IPL? Longest six in the history of IPL - 125m.#albiemorkel #csk #ipl2025 pic.twitter.com/55UAdb3qga — Harshal Barot (@harshalbarot21) April 9, 2025 The player who hammered the longest six in the history of IPL is none other than Albie Morkel. The former CSK all-rounder, and a highly underrated cricketer, played the shot that still remains the longest one in the history of this league. In that game, Morkel played a vital knock of 29 off 19, which helped his side to reach a respectable total of 144. However, the power-packed line up Deccan Chargers successfully chased the total, but the game is still remembered for the enormous shot that was struck by the Proteas star. Since then, many big hitters have come close, some reaching 110 or 115 meters, but none have officially beaten that 125‑meter stroke.
