5 IPL Records You Should Know

Highest Runs Scored by Individual Batsman

IPL had a thrilling start when Brendon McCullum set the cricket extravaganza on fire in the opening innings of the opening season in 2008. He scored the first hundred in IPL in the league's very first game when he made a surplus record of 158 not out, a record still stands today. The New Zealander scored 71 percent of the team runs and set another record of 13 sixes, which remains a record in a single innings. McCullum’s 158 in 73 balls is not the highest score in the IPL, but is the highest score in any form of Twenty20 cricket. With the help of his 158, Kolkata Knight Riders made a total of 222 and registered a victory of 140 runs over Royal Challengers Bangalore, which is still the largest margin in IPL history.
