The current year’s IPL cricket series, which started on March 22, is currently going through the second half of the league round. With 42 league matches completed so far, all teams have played 8 matches each. Rajasthan, Kolkata, Hyderabad and Lucknow are the top four teams in the points table.
However, there may be some changes in the points table depending on the upcoming matches. All teams are strong in IPL this season. As a result, every match is a hotly contested game. Apart from that, the batsmen have been playing aggressively and scoring maximum runs and creating various records.
In this post, we can see the top 5 players who have scored maximum runs in run chasing in the IPL series so far. Lucknow’s all-rounder Marcus Stoinis scored 124* against Chennai in this year’s IPL.
This is the highest score by an individual in an IPL run chase. With this, Marcus Stoinis broke Paul Valdatta’s record of 13 years. In other words, in the last IPL series held in 2011, against the same Chennai team, the then Punjab team player Paul Valdhatti scored 120 runs in the run chase and stayed on the field till the end.
This was the highest score by an individual in a run chase and has now been broken by Marcus Stoinis in the current season. They are followed by former Indian team player Virender Sehwag. In the 2011 IPL against Deccan Chargers, Virender Sehwag played for Delhi and scored 119 runs in a run chase.
