Most Fours Against CSK

Although cricket fans in India are spoilt for choice as far as big-hitting is concerned when the IPL is in town, the attention tends to be directed towards the sixes while the fours seem to go unnoticed. And yet, one might argue that hitting four showcases more of a batsman’s technique and situational awareness.

From sumptuous cover drives and bludgeoning pulls to lofted shots over the infield and innovative scoops over the keeper’s head – the variety is endless. And, just like any other IPL side, Chennai Super Kings are susceptible to conceding loads of fours when a batting unit is in form. With that in mind, let’s take a look at which five batsmen have hit the Most Boundaries Against CSK in IPL history.
