News India Live, Digital Desk: The world’s biggest and glamorous cricket league i.e. Indian Premier Premium League (IPL) has set many new records of success in its journey. This caravan, which started in the year 2008, is today at a stage where a new history is written with every match. If we look at the statistics of IPL so far, from title wins to individual performances, there are many such records which can surprise any cricket lover. Let us know about those golden and interesting statistics of IPL which make this league the ‘number one league in the world’.
Chennai and Mumbai dominate the title battle
Whenever it comes to the most successful teams in the history of IPL, the names of Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and Mumbai Indians (MI) shine at the top. Both these greats have captured the trophy 5-5 times. While Chennai impressed everyone with its consistency under the captaincy of Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Mumbai proved its strategic skills under the leadership of Rohit Sharma. Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) is also not behind in this race, having three titles to its name. On the other hand, teams like Punjab Kings, Delhi Capitals and Royal Challengers Bangalore are still struggling, waiting for their first title.
Run machine Kohli and king of wickets Chahal
It is not possible to talk about batting and not mention Virat Kohli. ‘Run Machine’ Kohli is the highest run-scorer in IPL history. He has more than 8000 runs to his name, which also includes a string of record centuries. After him come legends like Shikhar Dhawan and David Warner. On the bowling front, Yuzvendra Chahal has shown such magic with his spin that he has become the most successful bowler in the league. Chahal has the record of taking most wickets in IPL, which shows his wicket-taking ability.
Rain of sixes and the highest individual score
IPL is known for its aggressive play. ‘Universe Boss’ Chris Gayle still holds the unbroken record of the highest score of 175 runs in an innings, which he made against Pune Warriors. Gayle also has the record of hitting most sixes in the league. However, in the current era, players like Rohit Sharma and MS Dhoni are also rising rapidly in this list. Sunrisers Hyderabad have changed the definition of T20 cricket by scoring the highest team score in recent seasons.
Series of wins and losses and unwanted records
While there is celebration of victory, some teams have also suffered bitter defeats. Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings hold the unwanted record of losing the most matches in the league. While on one hand RCB has big scores, on the other hand it also has the mark of making the lowest score (49 runs) in IPL history. These figures show that in IPL one day you are on the podium and the next moment you can be on the floor.
