Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard are the two No. 6 batters to strike above 300 in an IPL innings (min. 50 runs). While Pooran leads the pack with 326.21 (62 vs RCB, 2023), Pollard struck at exactly 300 (51* vs KKR, 2016).

Three of Pollard’s half-centuries came against Chennai Super Kings (CSK), the t-most by a No. 6 batter against a single IPL team. MS Dhoni is the other batter with three fifties against Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB).
