KKR vs PBKS: Multiple records tumble in a once-in-a-lifetime run-fest at the Eden Gardens

KKR vs PBKS: Multiple records tumble in a once-in-a-lifetime run-fest at the Eden Gardens

523 runs, 42 sixes, 47 fours, 1 hundred, 4 fifties were scored, only 8 wickets fell, and 38.4 overs were bowled in the 42nd match of the IPL 2024 season.

Records were like bowling pins, and the ball that knocked them over was the KKR vs PBKS match. We started the match with no team scoring over 250 runs at the Eden Gardens since the ground started hosting T20 matches in 2003. About four hours later, that record seemed to be the most menial one to be broken.
