These are every record that was broken during the April 26 IPL match between KKR and PBKS.
Highest Successful Run Chase: Punjab Kings broke the previous record for the most successful run chase in T20 cricket history by successfully chasing the goal of 262. In March of last year, PBKS defeated South Africa’s 259/4 against the West Indies. The previous IPL record for chasing down 224 against KKR at Eden Gardens was held by the Rajasthan Royals, who tied it in 2020 in Sharjah against the then-Kings XI Punjab (now the Punjab Kings).
Most Sixes: Throughout the game on Friday night, sixes were scored frequently, setting records that fell in the blink of an eye. The most maximums in T20 cricket history were hit during the high-scoring run feast.
42 maximums were hit by PBKS and KKR, breaking the previous joint record of 38 set by Sunrisers Hyderabad against the Mumbai Indians and Royal Challengers Bangalore against the San Francisco Giants.
PBKS led the way in scoring the most sixes out of the 42 majestic maximums that soared into the Eden Gardens bleachers.
With their combined 24 sixes in an innings, Prabhsimran Singh, Jonny Bairstow, Rilee Rossouw, and Shashank Singh hit the best total in the history of the lucrative competition.
With a stunning 22 maximum sixes in an innings, the highest run-scoring IPL match ever between RCB and SRH previously held the record.
