5 all-time IPL records that are unlikely to be broken

Chris Gayle celebrates after reaching his 100 during his unbeaten 175

Royal Challengers Bangalore’s highest ever team total

This was one crazy match at the Chinnaswamy

23 April 2013 saw a lot of records getting mauled in a single match. It also includes the record that has been stated in the previous slides- Chris Gayle’s unbeaten 175 off 66 balls. That match also saw Royal Challengers Bangalore post a mammoth 263-5 on the board.

This was not only the highest team total in IPL but also the highest ever total in a T20 match. The second highest T20 total is 260 and in IPL, it’s 246. Without a second thought, one can put their money on this total being at the top of IPL teams’ highest innings total forever.

Apart from Chris Gayle’s 175, AB de Villiers scored a 12 ball 31 and Tillakaratne Dilshan played the sheet anchor’s role for Gayle as he scored a 33 off 36 balls.This match also saw a team and a batsman hitting the most number of sixes in an innings and the fastest 100 in T20s.
