South Delhi Superstarz Shatter T20 Record with 308/5
The Delhi Premier League T20 (DPLT20) witnessed an extraordinary display of batting prowess as South Delhi Superstarz amassed a staggering 308/5 in 20 overs against North Delhi Strikers. This remarkable total shattered records and left spectators in awe.
The carnage was orchestrated by Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya, who unleashed an unprecedented onslaught on the opposition bowlers. Badoni, the South Delhi skipper, smashed an unbeaten 165 off just 55 deliveries, including eight fours and ten towering sixes. His strike rate of 300 left the bowlers helpless.
Not to be outdone, Arya joined an elite club of batsmen to have hit six sixes in an over in domestic T20 cricket. He plundered 120 runs off 50 balls, adorned with ten fours and an equal number of sixes, at a blistering strike rate of 240.
The duo’s partnership of 286 runs from 103 balls stands as the highest partnership for any wicket in T20 cricket history. Their combined efforts propelled South Delhi Superstarz to a mammoth total, making it only the second time a team has crossed the 300-run mark in a T20 match.
The match also witnessed a rare feat as Arya became the first batsman to score two centuries in the ongoing DPLT20 tournament. His second century came in the 15th over, adding to his earlier ton in the competition.
The South Delhi Superstarz’s record-breaking performance has sent shockwaves through the cricketing world. It remains to be seen whether their total will be officially ratified as the highest in T20 cricket, but it has undoubtedly etched their names in the annals of the sport.
