3 matches with the highest fours aggregate in IPL history

Batters hitting boundaries at will is a common sight in T20 cricket. Such is the demand of the format, a batter looks to go after the bowling right from ball one. Using the advantage of the first six overs (the powerplay overs) and then scoring at the back end of the innings which are called the death overs is of utmost importance for the team. In the Indian Premier League (IPL), there have been many matches where both the sides smashed a lot of fours to register themselves in the record books.
