Most Fours Against KXIP
Considering how solid the bats are, how small the grounds are, how good the pitches are for batting, and how strong the batsmen themselves are, it is arguably a more difficult and skilful task to hit a four rather than a six.
At least, that might be the case in the Twenty20 format! In a time when even top edges fly 20 rows back for a six, a well-hit boundary not only looks majestic but requires a lot more know-how from the batsman – namely, which shot to hit and which gap in the field to pick. Which batsmen have displayed such technique against the Kings XI Punjab?
Let’s find out in this list of top five batsmen who have hit the Most Boundaries Against KXIP in IPL matches:
Batsmen with Most Fours Against KXIP
#5. Robin Uthappa (74 Fours)
Having been a part of the IPL ever since the first season, Robin Uthappa has turned out for Mumbai Indians, Pune Warriors India, Robin Uthappa, and most notably, Kolkata Knight Riders. Unfortunately for Kings XI, he has been in great form for the majority of those years and seems to have taken a real shining to the Kings’ bowling attack! With 74 fours to go along with 23 big hits in 26 innings, Uthappa is at number five on this list of five batsmen with the most fours against Kings XI Punjab in IPL matches.

#4. Virat Kohli (74 Fours)
Joining Robin Uthappa on 74 fours (but in 23 innings) on this list of Most Boundaries Against KXIP in IPL matches is Indian captain Virat Kohli. Like Uthappa, Kohli has been a part of the IPL ever since day one but has been retained by the same franchise year after year. Although he has the ability to clear his shoulders and smoke some big hits, Kohli is particularly known for his four-hitting skills, with the ability to manufacture a hit to the fence from any delivery to any part of the ground!

The stylish left-hander maintains a healthy average of 38.86 during his 17 innings, which means that he has amassed a healthy amount of runs against them too.

Finally, we move up from a hat trick of batsmen who have hit 74 fours against the Kings Xi bowlers, only to stop again at 75! Suresh Raina has been one of the most consistent scores in IPL history, second only behind Virat Kohli on the all-time scorers’ list. Well, you don’t make it that high up the list without having hit a few boundaries, which is why it’s not a shock to see Raina at number two on this list of batsmen who have hit the most fours against Kings XI Punjab in IPL games!
