Shikhar Dhawan becomes the eighth Indian batsman to score 4000 T20 runs
0 Gujarat Lions’ score after first two overs – the lowest ever in IPL history. There have been two instances when sides had put on only 1 run on the scoreboard after first two overs. 3 Number of maidens bowled by Dhawal Kulkarni in IPL 2016 – no one else has bowled even two! 3 Number of matches Gujarat Lions have now lost on the trot. 5 Number of teams Yuvraj Singh has played for in IPL. Before appearing for Sunrisers, Yuvraj had represented Kings XI Punjab, Pune Warriors India, Royal Challengers Bangalore and Delhi Daredevils. 6.23 Mustafizur Rahman’s economy in IPL 2016 – best for any bowler bowling at least 10 overs in the tournament. 8 Number of Indian batsmen to aggregate 4000 runs in T20 cricket. Shikhar Dhawan joined Suresh Raina, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Gautam Gambhir, Robin Uthappa, MS Dhoni and Virender Sehwag. 11.11 Dwayne Smith’s stike-rate in the match (1 off 9 balls) – his worst in an IPL match where he opened the account. 24 Number of innings taken by David Warner to complete 1000 runs as captain in IPL. He is the quickest to do so, taking the record from Sachin Tendulkar who took 31 innings to accomplish this feat. Warner’s tally includes 972 runs in 22 innings for Sunrisers (avg 51.16) and 48 for Delhi Daredevils (avg 24.00). 26 Gujarat Lions’ score after first six overs – the second lowest powerplay score in IPL 2016 after Delhi Daredevils’ 22 against Gujarat Lions at Delhi. Interestingly Gujarat Lions have made the three highest powerplay scores in IPL2016. 300 Number of T20 matches Dwayne Bravo has played – only the second to do so after Kieron Pollard (307). By an odd coincidence it was also his 100th IPL match, becoming the 22nd player and only third overseas player after AB de Villiers (111) and Kieron Pollard (101) to do so.
