Top 3 major records that were broken during the IPL 2023 season

The Indian Premier League 2023 was a season to remember. It was a season of firsts. The impact player rule primarily made most sides in the IPL batting heavy. The games were played in 12 venues which tested the players across a two-month duration in a wide variety of pitches. The season was thrilling, exuberating and amazing. The fans were entertained as there were a big number of last ball finishes in the tournament.

It was an amazing season to be a part of as a lot of uncapped Indian players created a big storm in the season and put their names up for national selection. A plethora of records was created in the 2023 edition. Let us take a look at three records which were set in IPL 2023.

3. Highest average powerplay score 

Due to the impact player rule this helped sides in the IPL to be batting heavy and therefore the average powerplay score shot up throughout the tournament. The average score was 50 which meant that with the impact player teams could continue to go hard and score more valuable runs for their side.

2. Most hundreds scored in an IPL season

 The batters really kept hitting hard and with batting friendly conditions available across the country it led to most tons being hit in an IPL season. The likes of Shubman Gill, Faf du Plessis, Yashaswi Jaiswal and Devon Conway were in roaring form which contributed to a truckload of hundreds which were 12 in total. In 2022, only eight of them were hit.

1. Highest number of 200 plus totals

The IPL 2023 was an absolute featherbed for batting. All teams enjoyed some sensational batting displays in venues like Mohali, Wankhede and for that matter Eden Gardens, Gujarat and Bangalore. The IPL saw the highest number of 200+ totals this season, with Lucknow Super Giants headlining the hammering with a 257-run total vs Punjab Kings.  There were 37 200 plus totals recorded in IPL 2023 as compared to just 18 of them in IPL 2022 which means there is 50 percent increase in this regard.
