Yashasvi completed his half -century with the help of 6 fours and 3 sixes.
5. Record of Gayle’s sixes
Chris Gayle has set another such record that will have to work hard to break. In the 2013 season, Chris Gayle played 17 sixes in a match playing for RCB.

In the 2011 season, RCB’s Chris Gayle scored 37 runs in an over of Kochi Tuskers Kerala bowler Parasnath Parameswaran. There were two no balls in this over and Gayle hit three consecutive sixes. Playing for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2021 season, Jadeja scored 37 runs in an over of RCB bowler Harshal Patel.
7. 6 wickets in debut match
West Indies fast bowler Aljari Joseph created panic as soon as he made his IPL debut. He made his debut in 2019 while playing for Mumbai Indians. After this, in the first match, he took 6 wickets for 12 runs in 3.4 overs against Sunrisers Hyderabad. This record is still unbreakable.
8. The record for hat -trick three times

Indian team star spinner Amit Mishra is the only bowler to take a hat -trick three times in the IPL. He has achieved this feat against Delhi Daredevils (now Delhi Capitals), Deccan Chargers and Sunrisers Hyderabad.
9. This team has won the most consecutive matches
The Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) team has done something in the IPL that no other team has been able to do till date. KKR won 10 consecutive matches between 2014 and 2015 seasons. Which is a record. Kolkata won the title in the 2014 season. If seen, KKR has won 14 T20 matches in a row. After winning the IPL, he also won 5 matches in the Champions League T20.
10. Most catches in a season
Apart from the bat and ball, there have been many exciting views in the fielding in the IPL. He has also made many unbreakable and amazing records in fielding. One of these names is from former South African veteran AB de Villiers. Playing for Royal Challengers Bangalore, he caught not one or two but 19 catches in the 2016 season. This is the most catches taken by any fielder (not a wicketkeeper) in a session.
