Year Ender 2024: The year 2024 has now reached its final stage. From cricket point of view, this year was very special for the Indian team. Rohit Sharma’s team created history by defeating South Africa in the final of the T20 World Cup. For the first time since 2007, Team India became T20 World Champion.
Preparations for Team India to become world champion in 2024 had started from the IPL itself. This year’s IPL was special in many ways. A mountain of 200 runs was scored in many matches and along with this, many Indian players emerged who confirmed their place in the T20 World Cup played after this tournament and created a stir. The names of players like Shivam Dubey, Arshdeep Singh and Kuldeep Yadav are included in this list. Let’s take a look at 5 such records made in IPL 2024 which created a sensation in the cricket world.
Biggest run chase in T20
There were many such matches in IPL 2024 in which the teams batting first scored a mountain of 200 runs. However, Punjab Kings achieved a feat which had never been done before in the history of T20 cricket. In the match against Kolkata Knight Riders, PBKS chased 262 runs and created a record which will not be easy to break. Never before had such a big total been chased in T20.
