Cricket News Desk. It is said that records are made only to be broken and looking at the kind of talents emerging in the world of cricket, it can be said that no record of cricket is out of their reach. Many records have been made and broken in the Indian Premier League so far, but there are some records which are not so easy to break. Before the start of IPL 2021, let's take a look at such records, to break which the players will have to show a lot of strength.
Virat's four centuries in one season: This batsman is called the best cricketer of modern cricket. He has many records in his name, which are not easy to break. Some records may undoubtedly be broken in the future. 4 centuries in an IPL season is a record that is difficult to break. In 2016, Kohli scored 973 runs in 16 matches at an average of 81.08. His strike rate was 152.03. He scored 4 centuries and 7 half-centuries. Personally, this was a brilliant performance by Kohli.
Chris Gayle scored unbeaten 175 against Pune 2013: Chris Gayle is the greatest player of all time in T20 cricket. He has played many memorable innings, but one of his innings has become history. Gayle played an unbeaten inning of 175 runs against Pune Warriors. Which includes 13 fours and 17 sixes. Thanks to this, RCB scored 263 runs in the innings, which is the highest score in IPL history. Former RCB player Gayle was in tremendous form in this 2013 season. He won the Purple Cap by scoring 708 runs in 16 matches. It is very difficult to break his record of 175 runs.
37 runs in one over: Often 20-25 runs are scored in one over. Maximum 36 runs can be scored in one over. Yuvraj Singh, Kieron Pollard, Herschelle Gibbs have scored 36 runs in one over. Therefore scoring 37 runs in an over is special. It can hardly be broken. Chris Gayle scored 37 runs in one over of Prashant Parameswaram. He hit 3 fours, four sixes in this over, one run came from a no ball. This incident took place in the 2011 IPL match between RCB and Kochi Tuskers Kerala. KTR batted first and scored only 125 runs. Gayle played an inning of 44 runs in 16 balls. He won the Purple Cap by scoring 608 runs in 12 matches.
229-run partnership between Kohli and De Villiers: In the 2016 IPL, RCB made a 229-run partnership between AB de Villiers and Virat Kohli for the fourth wicket against Gujarat Lions. This is a record so far. Virat scored 109 runs and De Villiers scored unbeaten 129 runs in 52 balls. The second biggest partnership is also in the names of these two players – Kohli-de Villiers. This partnership is of 215 unbeaten runs.
Best bowling: Alzarri Joseph took 6 wickets for 12 runs: Playing for Mumbai Indians, Alzarri Joseph took 6 wickets for 12 runs in his debut match. These figures are not only the best in IPL but also the best for a player making an IPL debut. Earlier, Sohail Tanvir had taken 6 wickets for 14 runs in the initial season. Alzari's magic worked in the 19th match of the 2019 league. Mumbai scored 136 runs while playing first. Alzari bowled out the opposing team for 96 runs. However, he could not do anything special in the next two matches.
