Interesting IPL Facts
The Team That Has Played the Most IPL Finals
There has been 13 IPL finals and one team has played in nine of those. If you happened to say the Chennai Super Kings, then you would be absolutely correct. This is mighty impressive when you consider the fact that they were banned from participating in the 2016 and 2017 tournaments. On these nine occasions, they have been victorious four times and have finished as runners-up five times.
The Team That Has Won the Most Titles
The Chennai Super Kings might have won four titles, but they are not the team that has lifted the trophy the most number of times. This accolade goes to the Mumbai Indians, who have won it a total of five times. They have a remarkable record in the final of the IPL – they have played six finals and only lost once.
Most Dot Balls Bowled
Harbhajan Singh has played 160 games in the IPL and during this time he bowled a total of 1,249 dot balls. This means that he can claim to be the bowler that had delivered the most number of dot balls in the tournament’s history. Sri Lanka’s Lasith Malinga is in second place with 1,155 dot balls.
One Team Has Never Changed Their Captain
The IPL is really dynamic, and changes are happening all of the time. However, one team has never changed their captain, and this is the Chennai Super Kings. The legendary MS Dhoni has always been the captain of this team.
Lowest IPL Score
The Royal Challengers Bangalore is a team that has always had explosive players, but in 2017 they imploded. In a match against the Kolkata Knight Riders, they were bowled out for a mere 49 runs after just 9.4 overs had been bowled.
Highest Run Scorer
Virat Kohli has played 191 innings in the IPL and during this time he has plundered 6076 runs at an average of 37.97. This includes 5 centuries and 40 half-centuries. The second highest run scorer is Shikhar Dhawan, who has 5577 runs to his name from 183 innings at an average of 35.29.
Highest Wicket Taker
Lasith Malinga has played 122 innings in the IPL and during this time he has picked up 170 wickets at an average of 19.79. His best bowling figures are 5/13. Amit Mishra sits in second place with 166 wickets from 154 matches at an average of 23.95. His best bowling figures are 5/17.
Most Runs Conceded in an Innings
Bowlers hate getting thrashed around the park. Ishant Sharma used to hold the record for conceding the most runs in a single innings, but in 2018 Basil Thampi was absolutely destroyed by the Royal Challengers Bangalore. He was thrashed for 70 runs from his four overs with an economy rate of 17.5. Sharma would have been happy to see this as he held the record for five years. We are pretty sure that Thampi will be holding it for even longer.
First Indian Player to Win the Orange Cap
The orange cap is given to the player that scores the most runs in the tournament, and an Indian won it for the first time in 2010, which was the 3rd edition of the IPL. Can you guess who? If you said the great Sachin Tendulkar, then you would be right. In this tournament, he scored 618 runs from 15 innings at an average of 47.53. The first ever orange cap, for those of you who are interested, was won by Shaun Marsh when he plundered 616 runs from 11 matches.
