The loudest moment in IPL history came from the Mumbai crowd when former Mumbai Indians captain Rohit Sharma caused a loud reaction from the spectators by smashing his second six into the stands during the IPL 2024 match against Royal Challengers Bangalore. The excitement of the moment caused the noise level to rise to 129 decibels and fans began celebrating and expressing their admiration for the power-hitting of the star batsman.
Rohit Sharma has secured the second spot on this list after garnering the loudest cheers in IPL 2025 when he smashed a six off a KKR bowler at the Wankhede where the 'short-meter' measured 129 dB, while 'Mumbai Cha Raja' is a fan favourite in the city of dreams, the fan craze helped him overtake Thala's craze by a margin of 1 dB.
The sound reached 128 decibels during the 13th match of IPL 2024 in Visakhapatnam. In this match, Delhi Capitals hosted CSK at their second home ground Dr. YS Rajasekhara Reddy Cricket Stadium. The excitement among the spectators was at its peak when MS Dhoni entered the field for the first time in IPL 2024. The fans started chanting his name in unison, creating such an atmosphere in the stadium that it echoed throughout the stadium.
RCB faced KKR at the MA Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru on March 29, 2024. Virat Kohli achieved another milestone by scoring an unbeaten 83 off 59 balls. A special moment of his innings came when he hit a six off Mitchell Starc, which created a noise of 126 decibels in the audience.
MS Dhoni had a 126 dB ovation during CSK's match against KKR at Chepauk in 2018. Batting at a score of 101/3, his 25 runs off 28 balls helped the Yellow camp post a big score. Thala has always been a favourite of the 'Whistle Podu' gang and when Dhoni came out on the field with the bat, Chennai fans used to cheer him and encourage him by whistling.
