South Delhi Superstarz breached the 300-run total in the Delhi Premier League 2024 with a jaw-dropping outing against North Delhi Strikers. Playing in their 8th match of the season, South Delhi put up 308/5 in their 20 overs with centuries coming in from two stars.
Team skipper and Lucknow Super Giants player Ayush Badoni turned on his beast mode, scoring 165 from 55 balls, whereas Priyansh Arya made 120 from 50 deliveries. The duo partnered for a huge 286-run stand from 99 balls to help the team put up a huge score at the Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi.
Priyansh produced carnage, smashing six sixes in an over, while Badoni was in his destructive form, punishing the bowlers all around the park in his knock laced with 19 sixes and 8 fours. Priyansh hit 10 sixes and as many fours in his blistering knock. While the league has not been given an official T20 status, several records were broken along the carnage.
The pair of Ayush Badoni and Priyansh Arya notched the highest Partnership in T20 cricket for any wicket in history - 286, going past the previous record of 258 set by Japanese openers, Lachlan Yamamoto-Lake and Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming.
This is also the second-highest total in the T20 cricket history, only behind Nepal's 314 which they made against Mongolia. Badoni's 19 sixes are the most by an individual in a T20 innings, going past Sahil Chauhan's record of 18 maximums.
This is the third-highest individual score in T20 cricket history, going past Hamilton Masakzada's score of 162. Badoni's score is only behind Chris Gayle's 175* and Aaron Finch's 172.
