5 major records made by RR in IPL history
In the 15 editions of the league, the franchise has created some brilliant records.
1. Highest team total batting second (223/5 vs Chennai Super Kings, 2010)
In the 15 editions of the IPL, Rajasthan Royals have been a part of many fascinating high-scoring encounters. In 2010 IPL, one such contest was when RR clashed with CSK at MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chepauk.
Losing the toss, RR bowled first and failed to stop Murali Vijay, who smashed 127 off just 56. Along with him, Albie Morkel also chipped in with 62 off 34 to post a massive total of 246 runs. Coming out to pursue the mammoth target, Rajasthan Royals exuded confidence as their openers Michael Lumb and Naman Ojha stitched an opening stand of 69 runs in only 7.2 overs.
After Lumb’s dismissal, Yusuf Pathan also went to the pavilion early scoring only four runs. However, Naman Ojha (94 off 55) and Shane Watson (60 off 25) fought hard to take the game close. In the end, RR lost the game by 23 runs scoring 223/5, but they created the record of scoring the most runs in the league while batting second.
