The stylish right-handed batter played another fearless knock and entered an elite six-hitting club during the high-scoring clash between RCB and SRH in Hyderabad on Friday.
The RCB captain Rajat Patidar has now become the fastest Indian batter to reach 100 IPL sixes in terms of balls faced. Rajat Patidar needed only 933 balls to reach the milestone, breaking the previous record held by the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) all-rounder Shivam Dube.
Rajat Patidar becomes the fastest Indian to smash 100 IPL sixes
Dube, who was previously part of the RCB setup, had earlier reached the landmark in 992 balls, but Patidar overtook the all-rounder with his explosive batting style. However, the overall IPL record still belongs to the former West Indies all-rounder Andre Russell. He hit 100 sixes in just 657 balls during his legendary IPL career with Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders.
He is now only the second Indian batter and overall fourth player to hit 100 or more sixes for RCB in IPL history. Patidar has played a key role in RCB taking the top spot on the point table. He is currently the team’s third-highest run-scorer in IPL 2026 with 393 runs.
Behind Kohli on the RCB six-hitting list are two franchise legends — Chris Gayle and AB de Villiers. Gayle blasted 239 sixes in 85 matches for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, while De Villiers hammered 238 maximums during his unforgettable journey with the franchise.
RCB survive SRH blow thanks to strong NRR
Well, despite the heavy loss against Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bengaluru still had one big positive. Their strong Net Run Rate helped them stay on the top in the IPL 2026 points table with 18 points from 14 games, which keeps them in a strong position heading into the playoffs.
RCB, Gujarat Titans, and SRH have all finished the league stage with 18 points each, and their NRR has decided the top-three rankings. While the top three playoff spots are confirmed, the fight for the last remaining place is still very intense. Rajasthan Royals, Punjab Kings, and Kolkata Knight Riders are all still alive in the race and battling hard to grab that final spot.
