Powerplay Record Highlights – IPL 2024‑2025 Big Moments

Big Chases in the Powerplay

Delhi Capitals pulled off a 210‑run chase against Lucknow Super Giants in Visakhapatnam, winning by just one wicket. It wasn’t a last‑over sprint; they already had 150+ runs when the powerplay ended. Axar Patel’s debut as captain, Ashutosh Sharma’s unbeaten 66, and a quick‑fire 39 from Vipraj Nigam made the target look reachable.

Another eye‑catcher was Sunrisers Hyderabad’s 94‑run on‑slaught in the opening six overs versus Rajasthan Royals. Travis Head smashed a 105‑meter six off Jofra Archer, and Ishan Kishan added firepower right after. That powerplay set the tone for a 286/6 total, leaving the opposition scrambling.

Speaking of Archer, his spell became a record for the most expensive in IPL history – 76 runs in just four overs. The damage was so severe that even a solid chase by the Royals fell short. It shows how a single over can flip a game’s momentum.

On the flip side, bowlers like Kuldeep Yadav, Mitchell Starc and Shardul Thakur have delivered match‑winning spells in powerplays. Their ability to pick wickets early keeps the score in check and often decides whether a chase stays alive.

These records aren’t just numbers; they change how teams plan their strategies. A massive opening partnership forces the opposition to rethink field placements, while a costly spell forces captains to protect their bowlers early on.

For fans, the excitement is obvious. Whether you’re cheering for a colossal six or cringing at a bowler’s nightmare, powerplay moments give the IPL its edge‑of‑the‑seat feel. Keep an eye on the next match – another record could be just six overs away.
