<p>The TATA IPL has had many legends take part in it. It has seen some of the best knocks in the history of T20 cricket. The TATA IPL is more than a league; it is a phenomenon. We have seen AB De Villers, MS Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Andre Russell, and all the other renowned batters in their prime. The league has also witnessed exceptional bowling from Lasith Malinga, Rashid Khan, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, and many other bowlers. If we were to make an all-time best-playing XI in the history of the IPL, who would it be composed of? We also intend to follow the "four overseas players" rule. Here is a quick look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>TATA IPL: All-Time Best Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>

<p>Back-Up Overseas Player: Rashid Khan. &nbsp;</p>



<p>Addition Spinner: Amit Mishra/Harbhajan Singh.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Additional Opener: KL Rahul&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma Will Be Captain of the Best All-Time XI of IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Rohit-Sharma-min-2.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma in TATA IPL" class="wp-image-101455"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit Sharma in TATA IPL is a different beast.  IMG SRC: BCCI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Rohit Sharma will be the captain and not MS Dhoni because the records speak for themselves. Sharma is a more successful captain when it comes to winning trophies. He got the upper hand in that case and hence he has been chosen. There are many other players who could have been a part of the team. Ambati Rayudu an IPL legend could have been a part of the middle order in the TATA IPL all-time XI. KL Rahul could have been chosen to open along with Rohit too, but Chris Gayle and his stats do the talking.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>4 Overseas Players in the TATA IPL All-Time Playing XI:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/chris-gayle-min-1024x768.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle" class="wp-image-89523" title="Chris Gayle"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Times of India</figcaption></figure>



<p>The 4 overseas players chosen are Chris Gayle, Lasith Malinga, DJ Bravo, and AB De Villiers. Gayle and ABD were even inducted into the RCB hall of fame last season. They are big contributors to making TATA IPL a brand. On the other hand, the two most successful bowlers, Malinga and DJ Bravo are on the team too. DJ Bravo has the most wickets in IPL and Lasith Malinga is second on that list. Both players are the faces of their respective franchises. One associate Malinga with Mumbai and Bravo with Chennai. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Suresh Raina and Virat Kohli are Indian Batters:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Virat and Suresh Rania own the IPL. Both batters are exceptional in the tournament. During the early 2010s, Raina was at his&nbsp;peak. From 2009 to 2015, he was the boss of the TATA IPL. After that came the Virat era. &nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Making an All-Time Best Playing XI of the TATA IPL.?

tata-ipl-2023-making-an-all-time-best-playing-xi-of-the-tata-ipl

<p>The TATA IPL 2023 season will begin on March 31, 2023. The tournament is a two-month-long fiesta of cricket. With that being said, the best batters in the world will be present in the tournament. Over the years, opening batters like Matthew Hayden, Adam Gilchrist, Gibbs, Bairstow, and Gayle have been integral parts of the tournament. An opener has a crucial job as he sets the pace of the innings. If the start is laid back, it is laid back, and if it is a quick-fire one, it is quick-fire! Here is a look at the top 5 openers that the league has ever witnessed:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Rohit Sharma is One of the Best Openers in the History of the TATA IPL.&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/rohit-sharma-1024x576.jpg" alt="Rohit Sharma" class="wp-image-98143"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Rohit is captain of Mumbai Indians franchise (IPL) </figcaption></figure>



<p>Rohit Sharma is one of the best openers in the league. Season after season Sharma has scored runs. He is also a part of the top run-getters in the TATA IPL. Sharma plays with a decent strike rate of 120 to 130 in the first 10 to 15 balls. Post that the strike rate inflates to 150. He has been an asset to the Mumbai Indians. As a captain, he has led them to 5 IPL victories. He does have a weakness against spinners in the powerplay and left-arm pacers as well, but if Rohit manages to get past the 10-ball mark, the opposition needs to start praying.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Chris Gayle is One of the Best Openers in the History of the TATA IPL.&nbsp;</h2>



<p>The TATA IPL was synonymous to ?Chris Gayle? in the 2011 and 2012 seasons. It was a season of sheer dominance by the big Jamaican. He was the poster boy of the TATA IPL. The fans love Chris Gayle because he is not just a batter but an entertainer. He makes sports interesting. One can never forget his whirlwind 175 runs against the Pune Warriors India. On his day, Chris won the game single-handedly. He was a strike force scoring at a strike rate of 150 and averaging 39.7.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>KL Rahul is One of the Best Openers in the History of the TATA IPL:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full KL-Rahul" id="KL-Rahul"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/KL-Rahul-min.jpg" alt="KL Rahul TATA IPL" class="wp-image-93739" title="KL Rahul"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">KL Rahul is one of the top players in the TATA IPL. IMG SRC: LSG</figcaption></figure>



<p>KL Rahul has assured dominance in the league since he was promoted to open the innings for the Punjab Kings. Before that, he was considered a fringe player with a lot of potential. But the Punjab Kings management helped him to grow. And since then, Rahul has had 4 IPL seasons in which he has scored more than 500 runs each. Now that?s an amazing thing to do! Season after season Rahul scored runs. At times his class is such that he appears to be India?s best T20 batter. Rahul has played 109 games scoring 3889 runs at an unreal average of 48 and strike rate of 136.8&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Shane Watson/ Shikhar Dhawan:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full" id="Shane-Watson"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Shane-Watson-2CSK.jpg" alt="Shane Watson TATA IPL" class="wp-image-20666" title="Shane Watson TATA IPL"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: CSK</figcaption></figure>



<p>Shikhar Dhawan and Shane Watson have also left a mark on the league as openers. The most impactful performance of Shane Watson came when he opened the innings. In the 2018 TATA IPL final, Shane was too good. The same was the case in the 2019 IPL final. He played with stitches in his knees and was batting exceptionally well. Shikhar Dhawan on the other hand is a blue-chip stock. He is a player on whom the team management can always rely. The short ball outside off-stump is his strong point. He has played 206 games and has scored 6244 runs at a strike rate of 129. Watson is on the list not because he has scored the most runs as an opener but because he has had a massive impact as an opener itself.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>David Warner:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full" id="David-Warner"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/David-warner.jpg" alt="David Warner TATA IPL" class="wp-image-81616" title="David Warner"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">David Warner was in his prime at SRH. IMG SRC: SRH</figcaption></figure>



<p>David Warner is in the heart of every SRH fan. He won the orange cap 3 times and every time he was opening the batting for the Sunrisers. He was the backbone of their batting. David Warner took the Sunrisers Hyderabad to glory in TATA IPL 2016. He is one of the most dominant batters. On his day, he can flip the game in the team?s favor in a matter of a few overs. His timing is elite and he has a strong bottom hand. He is technically very sound. Warner has amassed 5881 runs at a strike rate of 140. &nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Top 5 Openers in the History of the TATA IPL.&nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-top-5-openers-in-the-history-of-the-tata-ipl

<p>The TATA IPL 2023 is nearing, and the cricketing world is expecting the tournament to be as exciting as ever. With 10 teams in the mix, we will be having many memorable games this season. There are a few innings in TATA IPL history that will live on in the minds of all cricket fans. Brendon McCullum's inning in the first game of the TATA IPL is hard to forget! Chris Gayle?s 175 is also an inning for the ages. So, which are the most memorable and impactful innings in TATA IPL history? Here is a look:?</p>



<h2>Corey Anderson?s Innings Against Rajasthan Royals in one of the Best in TATA IPL History:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Corey Anderson was more like a one-season wonder in the IPL. But he left a huge impact on the IPL with his elite performance in 2014. In the last league match of TATA IPL 2014, Anderson took Mumbai Indians to a historic win. This match is undoubtedly the best match in IPL History. ?</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/2023/02/Corey-Anderson.jpg" alt="TATA IPL Corey Anderson" class="wp-image-102977" title="TATA IPL Corey Anderson" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: MI</figcaption></figure>



<p>It had drama, it had emotions, and it had excellent batting too. At the center of it was Corey Anderson, the big man from New Zealand. Mumbai wanted to chase 190 from 14.3 overs to qualify. Corey Anderson came in to bat at number 3 and went mad. He was hitting sixes for fun. He took the Mumbai Indians home scoring 95 runs from 44 balls and remained not out. The game had Ambati Rayudu shedding tears, and Aditya Tare hitting the iconic six. A true cricket fan remembers this match very well! ?</p>



<h2>Brendon McCullum?s Innings in the First Ever TATA IPL Game:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/brendon-Mcculum-min-1024x569.jpg" alt="Brendon McCullum TATA IPL" class="wp-image-89591" title="Brendon McCullum" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Brendon was an interim coach of KKR. IMG SRC: The Indian Express</figcaption></figure>



<p>What made the IPL brand what it is today is that one inning from Brendon McCullum. After McCullum smashed 158 runs from 73 balls, we can see a very happy Lalit Modi smiling over the masterpiece that he had created, titled the IPL. The Indian cricket fans had not seen batting like this ever before. McCullum recalls Sourav Ganguly telling him that ?Brendon post today you will be a brand in India!?. The innings included the dynamic style of play that McCullum believes in. He was attacking from the word go!?</p>



<h2>Chris Gayle 175 against Pune Warriors India in TATA IPL 2013:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/chris-gayle-min-1024x768.jpg" alt="Chris Gayle TATA IPL" class="wp-image-89523" title="Chris Gayle TATA IPL" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: Times of India</figcaption></figure>



<p>One cannot simply forget Chris Gayle hitting every PWI bowler out of the park at the Chinnaswamy in that game. This will go down as one of the best innings in the history of the TATA IPL. Chris was smashing the bowlers left right and center. He hit 17 sixes and 13 fours in this iconic inning. He took 29 runs off from one over of Aaron Finch and scored at 22.5 runs an over off Ali Murtaza a domestic Indian batter. ?</p>



<h2>Suresh Raina?s 87 off 25 Balls Against Punjab Kings:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Suresh Raina will still regret getting run out in that game against the Punjab Kings in 2014. He was batting on another level. He scored 30 runs in an over from Parwinder Awana. Post which Awana, a candidate for the national team, never came back to the IPL stage. Raina?s batting was so brutal that it tarnished the young pacer?s confidence. Raina did most of the damage in the powerplay overs itself. Earlier Punjab had scored 226 runs thanks to a Virender Sehwag 100. But Raina?s inning was not enough to take his team over the line. ?</p>



<h2>Honorable Mentions:&nbsp;</h2>



<ol start="1">
<li>Shane Watson?s Hundred in the TATA IPL 2018 Final. &nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<ol start="2">
<li>Kieron Pollards 83 of 31 Balls Against Punjab Kings.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<ol start="3">
<li>Hardik Pandya?s 91 of 34 Balls Against Kolkata Knight Riders.&nbsp;</li>
</ol>



<h2>Virat Kohli?s Hundred in a 15-Over Match:?</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Virat-Kohli-1.jpg" alt="Virat Kohli" class="wp-image-88825" title="Virat Kohli" /><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>Virat Kohli?s hundred in the 15-over match against the Punjab Kings was an inning to cherish for ages. What makes it more special is the fact that it was scored in the year 2016, a year that is considered Virat Kohli?s prime. Further, he had 8 stitches on his hand and was advised to take a rest for this game. But that did not stop this man to walk out to bat and dominating. He scored 113 runs off 50 balls. In this inning, he hit 8 sixes and 12 fours. ?</p>

TATA IPL 2023: A Look at Top 5 Memorable Innings in the History of TATA IPL. &nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-a-look-at-top-5-memorable-innings-in-the-history-of-tata-ipl

<p>The TATA IPL is glad to witness some of the finest cricketing talents in the world. Over the years we have seen many lesser-known names rise to fame. We also have seen many over-hyped players failing as the TATA IPL is the world?s toughest T20 league. With that being said, there are many overseas players who have graced this tournament. In fact, when we talk about the IPL becoming a brand, it is these players who made it an international brand. Here is an in-depth look: &nbsp;</p>



<p><em><strong>** Players are considered on basis of the impact that they have had on the league and not just consistent performances** &nbsp;</strong></em></p>



<h2>Dwayne Bravo Played for the Chennai Super Kings and Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Dwayne Bravo is the highest wicket-taker in the history of the league. He has bagged 183 wickets while playing from the very first season till 2022. He was the face of the Chennai Super Kings when the team was at its peak. He also holds the joint record for the most wickets in a TATA IPL season. In this record season, he picked 32 wickets. He was an integral part of the success of the Chennai Super Kings and helped them win 3 titles. Bravo is a legend in the IPL and T20 cricket in general. He was an elite death bowler.&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Chris Gayle Played for the Royal Challengers Bangalore and the Kolkata Knight Riders in TATA IPL:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Christopher Henry Gayle was in a league of his own in his prime. He managed to score 6 hundred in the IPL. His 2011 and 2012 seasons were a dream come true for any player. He bagged the orange cap twice. It is very unfortunate that a player of that stature, couldn?t win a trophy but his impact was immense. Gayle holds the record for the most hundreds and the highest individual score in an IPL inning. One can never forget him scoring a whirlwind-like 175 runs at Chinnaswamy against the Pune Warriors India. He is a part of the Royal Challengers Bangalore Hall of fame. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>David Warner:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/David-Warner-1.jpg" alt="TATA IPL David Warner" class="wp-image-80530"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Warner was once the face of Hyderabad. Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>David Warner is the unannounced prince of Hyderabad. The people of Hyderabad love Warner Anna! He made sure that the ?Orange Army? gets its hands on the first-ever IPL trophy. Warner has the record for winning the most IPL orange cap awards for the most runs scored in an IPL season. He was elite in the 2016 IPL season, the one in which the Sunrisers were champions, but his efforts were overshadowed by Virat Kohli?s master class. That season saw Warner get 800+ runs. Warner was a run-machine at the Hyderabad camp but in the IPL 2022 season, they parted ways. Here is a look at the stats of this legend:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>162&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>5881&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>140.7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>42.2&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>100s/50s&nbsp;</td><td>4/55&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Highest&nbsp;</td><td>126&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>AB De Villiers:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/cricket-c2-1024x664.jpg" alt="AB De Villiers TATA IPL" class="wp-image-66441" title="AB De Villiers"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Abraham Benjamin De Villiers has undoubtedly been the best batsman the IPL has seen so far!!</figcaption></figure>



<p>AB De Villers is a star in India. Once in 2014, he walked out to bat against India in Wankhede and the crowd started cheering ?AB, AB, AB, AB?! Now that is the charisma that AB had. He even made the opposition fall in love with his skill. RCB used his skills to the fullest. He was earlier at the Delhi camp but they couldn?t use his talent effectively. It was at RCB that he became a household name. He kept wickets, played the finisher?s role, and also played at number 4. His skillsets were used completely here. Here is a look at his IPL numbers:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>184&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>5162&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>151.7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>39.8&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>100s/50s&nbsp;</td><td>2/40&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Highest&nbsp;</td><td>133*&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<p>Honorable Mentions:</p>



<ol>
<li>Rashid Khan</li>



<li>Andre Russell</li>



<li>Lasith Malinga</li>
</ol>



<h2>Kieron Pollard Played for the Mumbai Indians in TATA IPL:</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Kieron-Pollard-1.jpg" alt="TATA IPL 2023 Kieron Pollard" class="wp-image-89981" title="TATA IPL 2023 Kieron Pollard"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Polly is now the batting coach of MI! Image: IPL</figcaption></figure>



<p>Kieron Pollard deserves credit for two of the 5 titles that the Mumbai Indians have won. It was because of his performances in the final that the Mumbai Indians managed to put up decent totals in the 2013, and 2019 finals. Polly is a maestro when it comes to finishing games. He takes the game away single-handedly. His knock against Chennai Super Kings in 2021 at Delhi and against the Punjab Kings in 2019 is knocking for the ages. Pollard is still an integral part of the ?One MI Family? and is associated with MI as a batting coach. &nbsp;</p>

TATA IPL 2023: Best 5 Overseas Players To Have Played in the IPL. &nbsp;

tata-ipl-2023-best-5-overseas-players-to-have-played-in-the-ipl

<p>The TATA IPL 2023 will begin on March 31. The T20 game is all about strategy and how one can manage the players. In the TATA IPL at least, you do not need to teach the players their technique, it is a tournament that moves quickly and has world-class players. You don?t teach them to play cricket, you manage them and make sure they are in the right mindset. Over the years, there have been many players who got paid less and bought a lot more value. So, who are these ?value for money? players? Here is a look:&nbsp;</p>



<h2>Hardik Pandya in TATA IPL 2015 for the Mumbai Indians:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full is-resized"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/Hardik-Pandya-2013-min-1.jpg" alt="Hardik Pandya TATA IPL" class="wp-image-91926" width="676"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: MI</figcaption></figure>



<p>Hardik Pandya was a sensation in the TATA IPL 2015. He was bought by the Mumbai Indians as a fringe player for 10 lakhs only. But it was the scouting process that led to his selection and today Hardik is the captain of the Indian National cricket team. Hardik was scouted from the Baroda Cricket Association camp. He was practicing and giving trials for the Syed Mushtaq Ali T20 games when John Wright saw him. Hardik scored a 60 against the Chennai Super Kings and won the Mumbai Indians two games with his bat and 1 with the ball in hand. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>Venkatesh Iyer in TATA IPL 2020 for the Kolkata Knight Riders:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Venkatesh-Iyer-min-1024x576.jpg" alt="Venkatesh Iyer TATA IPL" class="wp-image-101632"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">IMG SRC: KKR</figcaption></figure>



<p>Venky dominated the entire UAE leg of the TATA IPL 2020. KKR was a different team while playing that season in India and playing its second leg in the UAE. Venkatesh Iyer chose to drop out from a full-fledged career in the commercial world to move to cricket. Now that is called passion and love for the game. He was sensational. He was the out-of-syllabus question for every team that he played against. Here is a look at his TATA IPL 2020 season:&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>10&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>370&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>41.2&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>128.9&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Best&nbsp;</td><td>67&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Harshal Patel in TATA IPL 2021 for the Royal Challengers Bangalore:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>Harshal Patel played the TATA IPL 2021 season at the base price of 20 lakh rupees and went on to win the purple cap. And not just the purple cap, he now holds the joint record for most wickets in an IPL season alongside Dwayne Bravo. Now that is some value for only 20 lakh rupees. He was elite in that season. His slower ball was very difficult to pick. It was like a peak Dwayne Bravo was bowling and the batters struggled to deal with it. &nbsp;</p>



<h2>David Miller for Gujarat Titans in IPL 2022:&nbsp;</h2>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img src="http://www.icccricketschedule.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/David-Miller-min.jpg" alt="David Miller TATA IPL" class="wp-image-101746"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">Ever since being backed by Gujarat, Miller has found his best form. IMG SRC: GT</figcaption></figure>



<p>David Miller played for the Gujarat Titans in the TATA IPL 2022 season and was bought for just 3 Crore Indian rupees. This jaw-dropping price was not surprising as Miller was struggling back then. But currently, his&nbsp;market value floats between 10 Crore o 12 Crore Indian rupees. The purchase was so fruitful that Miller did most of the scoring in the Gujarat Titans' middle order. He was a value pick, and the Titans went on to win the TATA IPL in their very first season of participation. Here is a look at his season stats:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>16&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Runs&nbsp;</td><td>481&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>68.7&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Strike Rate&nbsp;</td><td>142.3&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Best&nbsp;</td><td>94*&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>



<h2>Mitchell McClenaghan for Mumbai Indians:&nbsp;</h2>



<p>McClenaghan is one of the most underrated performers for the Mumbai Indians. The Mumbai Indians have generally bought him in as a replacement bowler for any of the other first-choice bowlers. But in TATA IPL 2016, he was bought for a mere 1 Crore Indian Rupees. That was his registered base price. McClenaghan and the following stats of his do suggest that he was one of the best value picks for the Mumbai Indians:&nbsp;</p>



<figure class="wp-block-table"><table><tbody><tr><td>Matches&nbsp;</td><td>56&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Wickets&nbsp;</td><td>71&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Economy&nbsp;</td><td>8.4&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Average&nbsp;</td><td>23.4&nbsp;</td></tr><tr><td>Best &nbsp;</td><td>4/21&nbsp;</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>

<p>Abhishek Sharma, the young explosive batsman of the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH), registered the highest individual score by an Indian player in the history of the Indian Premier League (IPL) as his amazing knock of 141 runs in 55 deliveries helped him break multiple records.</p>

<p>He surpassed KL Rahul, who previously held the feat of playing an unbeaten inning of 132 runs versus the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) in 2020, the highest score by an Indian in the IPL back then.</p>
<p>Chasing a daunting total of 246 runs, Sharma and his partner in crime Travis Head wrecked havoc as they stitched an unbelievable partnership of 171 runs for the opening wicket and this partnership played a crucial role in helping Hyderabad seal the win. They were nothing short of brilliant, as they smacked 83 runs in the first six overs. </p>
<p>Moreover, the 24-year-old Abhishek Sharma was given a lifeline in the powerplay when adjudged catch out by the umpire off the bowling of Yash Thakur but the delivery turned out to be a no-ball. This lifeline given to the young explosive batter completely gave the home side the necessary momentum as Sharma went berserk, smashing boundaries for fun. His inning consisted of 14 amazing fours and ten huge maximums.</p>
<p>Courtesy of his 141 runs knock, the 24-year-old now holds the record of scoring the most number of runs by an Indian in a single inning in the history of the IPL. Moreover, this was also the third-highest score by a batter in the history of the cash-rich T20 league.</p>
<p>Legendary batter Chris Gayle still tops the batting charts with his historical knock of 175 runs verus the now-defunct Pune Warriors India (PWI) and the legendary Kiwi wicketkeeper batter Brendon McCullum is placed second in the list with his record knock og 158 runs versus RCB in the very first match of the IPL.</p>
<p>Abhishek, meantime, has become the player to have smacked the quickest hundred versus the Punjab-based team and the second-quickest ton by a Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) player in history.</p>

Abhishek Sharma made history by smashing 141 off 55 balls—the highest IPL score by an Indian—as Sunrisers Hyderabad chased down 246 against Punjab Kings. His explosive knock, including 14 fours and 10 sixes, surpassed KL Rahul's previous record (132) and became the third-highest IPL score ever, behind Chris Gayle (175) and Brendon McCullum (158). Partnering with Travis Head (171-run stand), Sharma capitalized on a no-ball reprieve, powering SRH to victory. His 40-ball century was also the fastest by an SRH batter against PBKS, cementing his place among IPL's most destructive innings.

Abhishek Sharma, the young and explosive Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) batsman, made history by scoring the highest individual IPL score by an Indian—141 runs off just 55 balls—breaking KL Rahul's previous record of 132. His blistering knock, featuring 14 fours and 10 sixes, was instrumental in SRH's successful chase of a massive 246-run target against Punjab Kings (PBKS). Alongside Travis Head, Sharma forged a destructive 171-run opening partnership, with SRH smashing 83 runs in the powerplay. A no-ball reprieve early in his innings proved pivotal, as Sharma capitalized and went on a rampage. His 141 is now the third-highest score in IPL history, behind Chris Gayle's 175 and Brendon McCullum's 158. Additionally, Sharma registered the fastest century (40 balls) by an SRH batter against PBKS and the second-quickest ton in SRH history. His record-breaking performance cements his place among the IPL's most explosive innings.
