IPL 2024: Top 3 Records That Could Be Broken in Today’s KKR vs DC Match

The 47th match of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 will be played between Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. The match is scheduled for 29th April at 7:30 pm.

Kolkata Knight Riders faced a defeat by 8 wickets against Punjab Kings in the last match. In the match, KKR batted first and scored 261 runs on the board, losing 6 wickets. In response, Punjab chased the target with 8 balls remaining. This is the most successful run chase ever in the history of T20 cricket.

On the other hand, Delhi Capitals defeated Mumbai Indians by 10 runs in the last match. In the match, DC batted first and scored 257 runs on the board, losing 4 wickets. In response, Mumbai was able to score only 247 runs, losing 9 wickets in 20 overs.

Delhi Capitals have moved to 5th place in the points table after the win, while KKR is in the second position.

This is the last game at Eden Gardens, a stadium that witnessed runs galore in this tournament and can be summed up as a bowler’s graveyard.

Here are some records that could be broken in the match:

Hope Eyes 2500 T20 Runs

West Indies batsman Shai Hope is considered a conventional batsman, but he shocked the world by playing at a different gear in the last game. Shai Hope is run shy in reaching the landmark of 2500 T20 runs.

Iyer Eyes 3000 IPL Runs

Kolkata Knight Riders Skipper Shreyas Iyer has been in perfect form this season. KKR skipper Shreyas Iyer needs another 6 runs to complete 3000 runs in the IPL.

Rana Nearing 4500 T20 Runs

Nitish Rana is an experienced T20 player who is currently out from injury but is expected to return. Another record that could be broken in today’s match between KKR vs DC is that Manish Pandey needs just one catch to complete the feat of 150 catches in the 20-over format.

It is a very important game in the context of the tournament’s future as Delhi winning consecutive games is finally on the right track while KKR would like to finish their season at Eden with a win.
