When 200 Became the New Normal

The league stage has ended, and this has become the most explosive IPL season ever in terms of run rate, sixes, and 200+ totals.

In just 70 league matches, teams crossed the 200-run mark 61 times.

To understand how unreal that number is, consider this: across the six IPL seasons from 2016 to 2021, 200+ scores were recorded only 63 times in total.

That means IPL 2026 alone has almost matched six full seasons of high-scoring cricket.
