A complete ranked list of the biggest boundary-hitters (fours) in IPL history, led by Virat Kohli and Shikhar Dhawan who have dominated this record.

7 itemsUpdated Mar 23, 2026

While sixes capture the imagination, fours — elegant boundary drives, cuts, and pulls — are the bread and butter of T20 batting. Virat Kohli leads the all-time list with 771 fours in IPL history, reflecting both his longevity and his preferred style of batting — timing over brute power. Shikhar Dhawan is the second-highest four-hitter with 750+ boundaries, showcasing his fluent off-side play. Rohit Sharma (599), David Warner (650+), and Suresh Raina also feature prominently. Fours are the primary scoring mode for classical stroke-makers, and the leaders on this list tend to be openers and top-3 batters who face the most balls.
