Clout NewsAugust 25, 20210 Comment0852

Cricket is a sport where accomplishments are cherished and kept a record of. Speaking of records, many things fascinate people in cricket. It might be the beautiful cover drive of Virat Kohli, the lazy pull of Rohit Sharma, the 360° shots of marvellous AB de Villers, the helicopter shot of Dhoni or simple the many creative shots of youngsters. We get to witness all these shots in IPL and that makes IPL the toughest, biggest and most entertaining tournament of cricket on the planet. Other than the visuals of cricket, records broken and made also fascinate people.

Records that stand the test of time gain the utmost respect. Many records are broken, made, created and again broken in every single match of IPL. It’s what keeps the sport so lively and exciting even after 14 seasons of its inception.

In this article, we will share with you the stats of record holders, who, with their consistency and skills, have been able to stay at the top of the charts. Here are the all-time records of IPL:

Most Runs

POS	PLAYER	Mat	Inns	NO	Runs	HS	Avg	BF	SR	100	50	4s	6s
1	Virat Kohli	199	191	31	6076	113	37.97	4,659	130.41	5	40	524	205
2	Shikhar Dhawan	184	183	25	5577	106*	35.29	4,379	127.35	2	44	634	116
3	Suresh Raina	200	195	29	5491	100*	33.07	4,011	136.89	1	39	502	202
4	Rohit Sharma	207	202	28	5480	109*	31.49	4,199	130.50	1	40	476	224
5	David Warner	148	148	19	5447	126	42.22	3,887	140.13	4	50	525	201

Was there ever any doubt, any surprise about the No.1 spot?

Virat Kohli is the leading run-scorer of all time in IPL. He is also the first and only batsman to cross the milestone of 6000 Runs.

Shikhar Dhawan is second on the list, but he is first on another list. Can you guess that list? Want a hint? Sure, this list is of players who have the skill of finding gaps on the field. You guessed it right, the most number of fours.

Suresh Raina, who missed the IPL 2020 season, has impressive stats to his name. Also, these stats don’t cover the fact that he won the IPL trophy with CSK three times.

Rohit Sharma, fourth on the list, lives up to this nickname of “Hitman”.He has the most number of sixes to his name in the top five. And let’s face it, what matters most? Individual accomplishments or team winning trophies? Yeah, obviously the latter. Rohit has five IPL trophies to his name.

David Warner, fifth on the list, hasn’t even played 150 matches. He has the best average among all the batsmen of IPL with 42.22.

Most Wickets

POS	PLAYER	Mat	Inns	Overs	Runs	Wkts	BBI	Avg	Econ	SR	4w	5w
1	Lasith Malinga	122	122	471.1	3,366	170	5/13	19.80	7.14	16.62	6	1
2	Amit Mishra	154	154	540.5	3,980	166	5/17	23.97	7.35	19.54	4	1
3	Piyush Chawla	164	163	541.4	4,263	156	4/17	27.32	7.87	20.83	2	0
4	Dwayne Bravo	144	141	463	3,882	156	4/22	24.88	8.38	17.80	2	0
5	Harbhajan Singh	163	160	569.2	4,030	150	5/18	26.86	7.07	22.77	1	1

Salinga Malinga tops the list of most wickets of all time with 170. Malinga has officially retired from franchise cricket, that is IPL, so Amit Mishra, who is just 4 wickets away, might get to the top.

Also, Malinga has played just 122 matches as opposed to his competitors who have played at least 140 matches.

Piyush Chawla is third on the list. Chawla surely ranks highest among all the leg spinners to have played IPL.

DJ Bravo, with his skill of picking wickets when required, is fourth on the list. Let me remind you, Bravo is an all-rounder and not primarily a bowler. This makes his feat even more extraordinary.

Harbhajan Singh sits fifth on the list with 150 wickets to his name. Bhajji contributes to the team with the bat as well. Also, Bhajji has won the trophy with both MI and CSK.
