The 17th edition of the Indian Premier League (IPL) changed the dynamics of T20 cricket and witnessed records being shattered one after another. Tuesday's match between Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants saw six runs scored, the most in a single edition of the cash-rich league in the ongoing season. The high-scoring run fest between DC and LSG resulted in a staggering 20 total highs. In the end, the Capitals won by 19 points.
The 20 6's brings the total for the entire ongoing season to 1,125, the most in any season. There are still a few games left in the tournament, so that number will likely increase.
Last season's total was 1,124 with six players. In 2022, the ball flew into the stands 1,062 times.
