250.4 - Priyansh Arya (@PunjabKingsIPL) has a batting strike rate of 250.4 at #TATAIPL 2026, the best of any player to bat more than five innings in a single @IPL season. Fireworks.

264 - @DelhiCapitals' 264/2 is their highest score in @IPL history, making them the fifth side to register multiple scores of 250+ runs (also 257/4 vs Mumbai Indians on 27 April 2024). Climbing.

220 - @klrahul & @NitishRana_27's 220-run stand is the second highest partnership in @IPL history behind AB de Villiers & Virat Kohli's 229-run stand (vs Gujarat Lions) in May 2016; in fact, this is @DelhiCapitals' first 200-run partnership in the competition. Class. #DCvPBKS

152* - @klrahul's unbeaten 152 is the highest score by any Indian batter in @IPL history and the third highest overall; in fact, this was his 6th ton in the competition, the joint third most behind Virat Kohli (8) and Jos Buttler (7). Robust.

50 - This is @RCBTweets' 50th win (including wins in tied games) at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium, the fourth team to log 50+ wins in the @IPL at a single venue after MI at Wankhede Stadium (58), KKR at Eden Gardens (55) and CSK at MA Chidambaram Stadium. Milestone. #TATAIPL #RCBvGT

3 - @sais_1509 has scored three centuries in the @IPL, with only Shubman Gill (4) recording more for the @gujarat_titans in the competition. Trailblazing. #TATAIPL #RCBvGT

47 - @sais_1509 reached 2000 runs in 47 innings in the @IPL, the fewest innings taken by any batter to achieve the milestone. Blistering. #TATAIPL #RCBvGT

55.8 - Cooper Connolly has an average of 55.8 from his first six innings in the #IPL, the best average of any player to have faced more than 80 balls in the history of the competition. Impact. #IPL26

45 - @TilakV9 brought up his ton in 45 balls, the joint fastest by any @mipaltan batter in @IPL history alongside S. Jayasuriya (May 2008); in fact, it is the joint 2nd highest score by any batter at number 5 or below in the competition (B. Stokes - 103* in May 2017). Sizable.

202 - With bowling figures of 3/41 vs #ChennaiSuperKings, @BhuviOfficial (202) became the second bowler to pick up 200+ wickets in @IPL history after Yuzvendra Chahal (224); in fact, these are also his best bowling figures vs CSK in the competition. Grand. #TATAIPL #RCBvCSK

3 - This is the third time @gujarat_titans have scored 200+ runs against #RajasthanRoyals, their joint most against any opponent (also Delhi Capitals & Mumbai Indians); however, they have won just one of these three games (L2). Short. #GTvRR #TATAIPL

267 - Sarfaraz Khan's 32 off just 12 balls (SR 267) today is the highest strike rate by a @ChennaiIPL batter (min. 10 balls) in the first innings of an @IPL game since Ambati Rayudu recorded an identical strike rate against Mumbai Indians on 1 May 2021. Blistering. #CSKvPBKS

2 - @AyushMhatre56 scored 73 against Punjab Kings today to register his second fifty in the @IPL; only Vaibhav Sooryavanshi (3) has recorded more 50+ scores in the tournament before turning 19. Prodigious. #TATAIPL #CSKvPBKS

7 - Arshdeep Singh bowled seven wides in today's game against Gujarat Titans, only Shardul Thakur has bowled more in an @IPL game with eight against Kolkata Knight Riders on 8 April 2025. Erratic. #TATAIPL #PBKSvGT

139 – Punjab Kings have recorded 139 losses in the @IPL; a defeat in this match would see them draw level with Delhi Capitals (140) for the most losses in the tournament’s history. Unwanted. #TATAIPL #PBKSvGT

305.9 - Vaibhav Sooryavanshi scored his 52 at a strike rate of 305.9, the best by any @rajasthanroyals batter in @IPL history when scoring 50+ runs; in fact, he reached 50 in 15 balls, the 2nd fastest by any #RajasthanRoyals batter behind @ybj_19 (13). Punch. #TATAIPL #RRvCSK
