Success is where preparation and opportunity meet in IPL matches

Sports do not build character. They reveal it!! Only he who can see the invisible can do the impossible!!

Crash, bang, wallop! Yes, the latest installment of the all-singing, all-dancing Indian Premier League is upon us so what better time to take a look back through some of the tournament's many highlights?😃

There has been brutal batting in abundance, razor-sharp bowling, unbelievable catching and even a few oddities over the 14 enthralling seasons so far.

Here are some amazing moments in the history of cricket on the cricket pitch. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

McCallum's 158 off 73 Balls --

If people had their doubts about the longevity of the IPL, then Brendon McCllum's blistering 158 not out in the competition's very first match put paid to that.The Kiwi smashed 15 sixes as part of a huge individual score that would remain the tournament's highest score for five years.

Dhoni's 51 off 20 Balls---

A classic MS Dhoni cameo. With CSK struggling against Mumbai Indians and looking likely to post an under-par score, the Indian skipper unleashed his full complement of trademark shots to blast 51 off just 20 balls. With a monster strike rate of 255.00, Dhoni helped his team post what turned out to be a match-winning total of 187 !! 👏

De Villiers 47 off 17 Balls

Needing 181 to win against Deccan, AB de Villiers scored 47 off 17 deliveries to see his Royal Challengers Bangalore over the line, and what made it even more spectacular was that most of the damage came against his compatriot Dale Steyn.

Tanvir's 6 Wickets for 14 Runs

The writing was on the wall for Chennai when Sohail Tanvir removed both of their openers for ducks, and the skillful Pakistani went on to take what are still the IPL's best-ever figures of six for 14.

Rajasthan Chase Down

Often when chasing huge scores for victory, the necessity to score heavily from the start leads to early wickets, and the innings dissolves into a painful damp squib.But in 2008, the Rajasthan Royals managed to hunt down the 214 runs required with just one ball to spare.

Mishra's Hat-Trick of Hat-Tricks

Amit Mishra shut down the Pune Warriors in a low-scoring thriller with a sensational hat-trick to help the Sunrisers Hyderabad to victory in 2013. Amazingly, Mishra now has three IPL hat-tricks to his name, the first of which was in 2008 and the second in 2011.

A few matches of these historic events I watched.

They were some wonderful moments in the history of IPL. Thank you for mentioning them here.

Cheers......

I remember all this memorable innings and performance except few😳 thanks for reminding it to us again.
