IPL 2024: This time there is tremendous batting in IPL. A lot of runs are being scored and there is a flood of boundaries too. Everyone saw Naren’s stormy innings in Kolkata and Delhi on Wednesday. Batsmen including Klaasen, Abhishek Verma, Russell, Sunil Narine, Shimav Dubey, Rishabh Pant have been seen scoring half-centuries in less than 25 balls. The effect of the stormy innings of these batsmen is also visible on the team score. On Wednesday, KKR made the second highest score of IPL by making 272 runs for seven wickets against Delhi, while before this, Sunrisers Hyderabad team had made 277 runs in 20 overs against Mumbai, which is the highest score of IPL. You can gauge the stormy batting from the fact that 299 sixes have been hit in 16 matches, which is a new record. Before this, 246 sixes were hit in 16 matches in the 2023 IPL. The worst season in terms of most sixes was 2013, in which only 127 sixes were hit.
28-28 runs are being scored in one over.
After recovering from the car accident, Rishabh Pant is also not lagging behind in playing stormy innings. Even though the Delhi Capitals team lost on Wednesday, captain Pant made a record by taking all the balls of Venkatesh Iyer out of the boundary. Venkatesh Iyer’s over became the most expensive over of this session. Pant scored 28 runs with the help of two sixes and four fours.
