IPL 2023: LSG tear PBKS bowlers apart to post highest total of season, nearly break RCB's all-time record

The Lucknow Super Giants (LSG) batters put up a dominant show against Punjab Kings on Friday, posting the highest total of IPL 2023 and the second-highest overall in the history of the tournament.

IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap​

Powered by blazing fifties from Marcus Stoinis (72 off 40) and opener Kyle Mayers (54 off 24) as well as valuable contributions from Nicholas Pooran (45 off 19) and Ayush Badoni (43 off 24), LSG posted 257/5 at the end of their innings after being invited to bat by PBKS at the PCA Stadium in Mohali.

It was the highest total of the 16th season of the league, going past Chennai Super Kings’ 235/4 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Kolkata’s Eden Gardens. More importantly, it was also only the second time that a team had crossed the 250-mark in the history of the IPL.

The record for the highest total in the history of the tournament continues to be held by the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), who smashed 263/5 against the Pune Warriors in 2013 powered by Chris Gayle’s unbeaten 175 not out — the highest individual score not just in the IPL but in the T20 format.

Had it not been for a slow start by skipper KL Rahul (12 off 9) as well as an excellent final over from Arshdeep Singh (1/54), Lucknow could very well have had a real shot at eclipsing RCB’s total.

Here are some of the reactions to LSG’s run-fest in Mohali:

Past masters of Indian badminton: Meena Shah defied norm to clinch dozen national titles before knee injury cut career short

In the history of women’s badminton in India, there have been three outstanding players who have each had the distinction of bagging the national singles title seven times in a row. The first of these was Meena Shah, who made the national crown her own between 1959 and ’65; the second was Madhumita Goswami-Bisht, who won the title in an unbroken reel of seven from 1984 to ’90, and ended up with ten singles crowns; and the third was Aparna Popat, who made it nine in a row between 1997 and 2005. Stroke artist Ami Ghia-Shah, who reached an unbelievable 15 national singles finals among the 36 summit clashes she managed in a 19-year career, has also been anointed national singles queen on seven occasions, but these were not in consecutive years. Ami won four consecutive titles from 1973 to ’76, and then again in 1979, ’80 and ’83. There is one thing that Aparna, Madhumita and Ami had in common – they have all been slim and trim during their reign at the top. Meena Shah, on the other hand
