The South Delhi Superstars created a buzz in the cricketing world by achieving an extraordinary feat in the Delhi Premier League 2024. Scoring more than 300 runs in a T20 match, this team has set a new record, proving that anything is possible in the shortest format of the game. Led by Ayush Badoni, the South Delhi Superstars faced off against the North Delhi team and left everyone stunned with their explosive batting display.
Setting a New Benchmark in T20 Cricket
While scoring 200 runs in a T20 match is often considered a winning score, the South Delhi Superstars shattered expectations by piling up a massive 308 runs in their allotted 20 overs. This is now the highest score ever recorded in the history of the Delhi Premier League. The team achieved this mammoth total by smashing 31 sixes and 19 fours, showcasing a batting masterclass that was nothing short of spectacular.
Explosive Performances by Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni
The star performers for the South Delhi Superstars were opener Priyansh Arya and captain Ayush Badoni, who both played sensational innings. Priyansh Arya started the onslaught with a quickfire 120 runs off just 50 balls, including 10 fours and 10 sixes. This was his second century in the league, highlighting his consistency and power-hitting abilities.
However, it was Ayush Badoni who stole the show with an incredible display of power-hitting. He scored a jaw-dropping 165 runs from just 55 balls, hitting 19 sixes and 8 fours. Badoni’s innings came at a blistering strike rate of 300, leaving the North Delhi bowlers helpless. Together, Priyansh Arya and Ayush Badoni put on a record-breaking 286-run partnership for the second wicket, the highest in the league’s history.
North Delhi Bowlers Struggle to Contain the Onslaught
The North Delhi bowlers had a tough time containing the run flow, as almost all of them leaked runs at an alarming rate. Pranshu Vijayran was the only bowler who managed to keep his economy rate under control. In contrast, Manan Bhardwaj became the most expensive bowler of the day, conceding 60 runs in just 2 overs. Vaibhav Kandpal and Suyash Sharma were also taken to the cleaners, giving away 41 and 66 runs, respectively. Although Siddharth Solanki managed to take 3 wickets, he too was expensive, conceding 52 runs in his spell.
A Day to Remember for South Delhi Superstars
The South Delhi Superstars’ record-breaking performance has not only etched their names in the history books of the Delhi Premier League but also set a new benchmark for other teams to chase. Their extraordinary innings demonstrated the potential for high scores in T20 cricket and left fans eagerly waiting to see what more this team can achieve in the coming matches.
