New Delhi: Records tumbled as Punjab Kings chased the highest-ever score in the history of T20 cricket on Friday in an Indian Premier league 2024 encounter against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens. Batting first, KKR scored 261 runs for the loss of 6 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs as Phil Salt and Sunil Narine smashed powerful half-centuries.

In what looked like a tough chase, PBKS batters Jonny Bairstow, Prabhsimran Singh and later Shashank Singh made the chase look very easy with their power-packed performances that got them a historic win in the match. The KKR vs PBKS contest saw the maximum number of sixes being hit in a men’s T20 match as a total of 42 maximums were smashed in both the innings, surpassing the previous record of 38 sixes by Sunrisers Hyderabad in this edition only.
