Delhi Capitals vs Rajasthan Royals: In the IPL, a big match was played between Delhi Capitals and Rajasthan Royals on Tuesday at the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi. DC team won the match and Rajasthan Royals lost, but even after this both these teams together have created a new record. The work which had never been done before in IPL, has now been done. Both the teams managed to score more than 200 runs in the match.
This year in IPL, both the teams scored more than 200 runs in a match 13 times.
This is the first time in the 17-year history of the Indian Premier League that both the teams have scored 200 plus 13 times. Earlier in the year 2023, both the teams together had scored more than 200 12 times. Now this is a new record. In the year 2022, only 5 times both the teams managed to score more than 200 runs in the same match. If we look at the years 2008, 2010, 2018 and 2020, then only 4 times in these four years both the teams had scored more than 200 in a match. This work was done thrice in the years 2014 and 2021, whereas in the years 2011, 2012 and 2016, both the teams had crossed the 200 mark only once. But there were some years when both the teams did not score 200 plus runs in any match. These were 2009, 2013 and 2015. Not a single such match could take place in this year.
Delhi scored 221 runs in the first innings
Meanwhile, if we talk about the match, Rajasthan Royals captain Sanju Samson won the toss and asked Delhi to bat first. Delhi team scored 221 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs. This included 50 runs from Jack Fraser McGurk and 65 runs from Abhishek Porel. In the end, Tristan Stubbs also played a useful inning of 41 runs. After this, Rajasthan Royals had a target of 222 runs, which the team could not achieve, but even after this they scored more than 200 runs.
Rajasthan team lost the match even after scoring 201 runs.
Both the openers of Rajasthan Royals failed. Yashasvi Jaiswal went to the pavilion after scoring only two runs and Jos Buttler scored 19 runs. Captain Sanju Samus, who came at number three, played an excellent inning of 86 runs. None of the remaining batsmen could cross the 50 mark. The team scored 201 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in the stipulated 20 overs, but the team had to face defeat by 20 runs. This is the reason why both the teams crossed the 200 mark and created a new record.
