The current season of the Indian Premier League has been thrilling thus far, thanks to a number of high-stakes matches. With up to eight games scheduled to be played over the next four days or so, cricket fans can expect another thrilling IPL weekend. Let’s look at impending milestones that might be attained in the forthcoming matches.
Virat Kohli: 7,000 IPL runs
This weekend, the Bangalore Challengers are scheduled to compete in two games. The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) will play Rajasthan Royals on Thursday, April 20, after playing Punjab Kings on Thursday. Virat Kohli, the senior hitter for RCB, has two scheduled games where he may finish his 7,000 IPL runs. To reach the milestone, the player will need 156 runs during his next two matches.
Kohli will make history as the first IPL player to reach 7,000 runs in the league.
Jos Butler: 6th IPL century
Buttler has two opportunities this week to strike a century and add his name to the record books, just like Kohli does. To be aware, Buttler needs another 100 runs to tie World Boss Chris Gayle for the most centuries ever scored in the lucrative league (6). In the following two games against LSG and RCB, Buttler will be attempting to pull off this extraordinary accomplishment.
Shikhar Dhawan: 6,500 IPL runs
RCB will be the opponent for Punjab Kings in their upcoming IPL match. Shikhar Dhawan, the captain of PBKS, is on track to accomplish a significant goal in the IPL. After Virat Kohli, the left-handed batsman will become the second player in IPL history to score 6,500 runs. In 210 games, he has played, accumulating 6476 runs with a strike rate of over 127. In his subsequent game, he also has the opportunity to record the 50th IPL fifty.
Rohit Sharma: 250 IPL sixes
Mumbai Indians are on a roll after a shaky start, winning three straight games. On Saturday, the five-time champions will play the Punjab Kings. Rohit Sharma, the MI captain, has a chance to hit 250 sixes in the IPL. In terms of most sixes, Rohit is now third, after only Chris Gayle (357) and AB de Villiers (251). If Rohit hits four sixes in the upcoming game, he will pass AB de Villiers and move up to the second place.
Trent Boult: 100 IPL wickets
The Lucknow Super Giants will be the opponent for the Rajasthan Royals when they play at home in Jaipur. Trent Boult, the star bowler for RR, needs two more victims to get 100 IPL wickets (98). Notably, if the left-arm bowler is successful in taking two wickets against the Supergiants, he will pass as the third-fastest foreign player to 100 wickets. Kagiso Rabada tops the leaderboard after accomplishing the mark in his 64th IPL game. Veteran Lasith Malinga, who accomplished the milestone in his 70th game, is second on the list. Boult has participated in 82 IPL games so far.
