The Arun Jaitley Stadium, earlier known as the Feroze Shah Kotla, is a special venue in Indian cricket. Other than the fact that it is situated in the national capital, the people in Delhi play an extraordinary part in making this one of the liveliest venues. Delhi Capitals have been playing in this venue since the inaugural season of IPL. The franchise has seen a lot of ups and downs, all on this ground. IPL 2024 will kick start in a few hours and the Arun Jaitley Stadium is expected to produce some nail-biters in this season. Let us look at the top 3 highest scores in the IPL at this venue.
1. 231/4 – DC vs PBKS, 2011
Delhi Capitals had a formidable batting unit in the 2011 season. They had some of the biggest names in international cricket present on their roster. That batting unit helped Delhi score the highest team total at their home ground. The openers who are David Warner and Virender Sehwag have stitched a 146-run partnership for the first wicket. This partnership played a crucial role in carrying Delhi to 231 runs in the first innings.
2. 223/3 – CSK vs DC, 2023
The second-highest score at this venue was achieved by Chennai Super Kings in the last season. In the later phase of the group stage, Delhi clashed with Chennai. CSK decimated the opposition bowling attack to score 223 runs in the first innings. Ruturaj Gaikwad with a 79-run knock off just 50 deliveries and Devon Conway with his 87 runs, forced Delhi to extinction in this match. The first-innings total later proved to be beyond the reach of the chasing side.
3. 220/3 – RR vs DC, 2020
Owing to this, there was another high-scoring encounter in which the visitors dominated the home side. Rajasthan Royals scored 220 runs against Delhi Capitals in the 2020 season. The English talisman Jos Buttler thrashed Delhi bowlers as he scored 124 runs at a strike rate of 193.75. Captain Sanju Samson also played an important role in guiding his side to this massive total in the first innings.
