KKR vs PBKS: Sam Curran gets worst figures by a captain & Eden Gardens records highest-ever total

KKR vs PBKS: Sam Curran gets worst figures by a captain & Eden Gardens records highest-ever total

Despite scoring 261 runs, the Kolkata Knight Riders recorded the 6th highest total of the IPL 2024 season and their second highest this season.

Records continue to tumble in IPL 2024. The highest-ever powerplay total (125), highest-ever IPL score (287), and most runs scored in a match (523), all have been broken in the past month. Just after the first inning of the KKR vs PBKS match, two more of these records went down.

Punjab Kings skipper Sam Curran has given away 60 runs in his four overs, the most by an IPL captain. Fascinatingly, Curran breaks Pat Cummins’ record of 55, which he had recorded just yesterday (April 25) against the Royal Challengers Bengaluru.

The second record that went down was the highest-ever total record at Eden Gardens. The home side, the Kolkata Knight Riders, scored a whopping 261 runs, which was 26 more than the previous highest score of 235.
