Since the first Indian Premier League (IPL) season in 2008, cricketers and teams playing in the league have set an extensive collection of records in Twenty20 (T20) cricket, which has led to an explosive rise in the format’s popularity. Achievements such as West Indian batter Chris Gayle’s fastest century (100 runs in 30 balls) and highest individual score (175 runs off 66 balls) in the IPL are unmatched across major T20 franchise tournaments. A 2024 IPL match between the Punjab Kings (PBKS) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) also rewrote the records book, with Punjab successfully chasing down a T20-record target of 262 runs. Both teams hit a combined total of 42 sixes during the match, the most in any T20 fixture. The IPL’s high intensity and standards have brought unprecedented levels of commercial investment and enhanced the global appeal of the sport. IPL 2026, the 19th edition of the league, consists of 74 matches (70 round-robin and 4 playoff matches), with each of the 10 teams playing 14 matches in the round-robin stage.
