KKR vs PBKS set World Record in Chasing 261
KKR vs PBKS chased 261 in 20 overs, new world record in T20 cricket
It seems that PBKS had quite the imagination when they successfully chased KKR’s score of 261 in just 20 overs. Phil Salt and Sunil Narine had some amazing batting in the first innings, scoring 75 and 71 runs respectively. Despite this, the match-winning probability algorithms predicted KKR would win throughout the match – that is, until the 15th over in the second innings. However, things changed after the 15th over, and the chief architect for PBKS’s batting was Johnny Bairstow, who scored a hundred. Shashank Singh also played an important role, scoring 68 runs in just 28 balls with 8 sixes and 2 fours.
