Hyderabad: Indian Premier League is not just about smashing the ball out of the ground, batsmen at times need to be smart and place the ball perfectly between the fielders. Scoring boundaries is a smart way of scoring runs.

So, let's have a look at batsmen with the most number of boundaries in 11 years of IPL.

Robin Uthappa, the wicket-keeper batsman has played some outstanding knock while playing for Kolkatta Knight Riders in last few IPL seasons and while doing that Uthappa has smashed 401 boundaries in 165 matches.

Interestingly, there are only five batsmen who have smashed 400 or more boundaries in IPL.

Next up in the list is Royal Challengers captain Virat Kohli. It is pretty hard to keep this man away from the record book. The talisman batsman, who has smashed 434 boundaries while batting for RCB in last 11 years.

Mr.IPL Suresh Raina is a cricketer whose name is there in almost every batting record in the IPL. While dominating the IPL for over a decade Raina has hit 448 boundaries. Almost 3 boundaries every match.

Next in the list is Shikhar Dhawan, who did not have a great season at the start of the IPL has risen as one of the best T20 Opener in IPL. Dhawan has smashed 460 boundaries in 143 matches.

The left-hand batsman Gautam Gambhir is on the top of this list. The southpaw while playing for Delhi Daredevils in the first few seasons and then for KKR has smashed almost 491 boundaries in 154 matches.
