KKRs 10-match Unbeaten Run
When Gautam Gambhir led Kolkata Knight Riders, the franchise won 10 games on the trot. A feat that has yet not been broken in the tournament. KKR won 9 games at a stretch in IPL 2014, the same year they won their second trophy. In IPL 2015, KKR started the tournament with a win to write the record. (Image source: Twitter)
Chris Gayle, Ravindra Jadeja smashing 37 in an over
In 2011, Gayle smashed Kochi Tuskers Kerala bowler Prashanth Parameswaran for 37 runs in a single over. Jadeja, ten years later in 2021, equalled Gayle's feat by smashing 37 in the over of Harshal Patel. It will take a special effort and good fortune for a batter to smash 38 in an over to topple this record. (Image source: Twitter)
