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.

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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.

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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.

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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.

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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.

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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

[OptaJeev @OptaJeev]

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.
