The match produced the biggest T20 partnership of all time, six 6s in an over, and the highest individual score by an Indian.
Records were tumbling left and right at the Arun Jaitely Stadium on August 31, 2024. The South Delhi Superstarz (SDS) were taking on the North Delhi Strikers in the 23rd match of the Delhi Premier League (DPLT20). An early wicket of Sarthak Ray fell in the 3rd over, and then SDS captain Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya put up a 286-run stand. You heard it right. They scored nearly 300 runs together in a T20 match.
Badoni hit 165 off 55. Three runs a ball. He hit a six every three balls. His inning consisted of 27 boundaries, 19 of which were sixes. That means he hit 114 runs in sixes alone. This is an Indian record. The previous highest individual score by an Indian batter was Shreyas Iyer, who hit 147 in the same number of balls in 2019. Well, that record is no more.
