88/1 by Knight Riders is the fourth highest Powerplay total in IPL and the second highest for the team after 105/0 against RCB in Bengaluru in 2017, which happens to be the highest in the history of IPL.
135/1 by Knight Riders is the third-highest team score at the halfway mark of an IPL innings. Both the higher scores at the end of 10th over came in the SRH-MI encounter last week with SRH scoring 148/2 and MI replying with 141/2.
15.2 overs taken by Knight Riders to reach 200 is the third quickest by a team in IPL to get to 200. The two fastest entries are by RCB in 14.1 overs against Punjab Kings in a rain-shortened 15-over affair at the Chinnaswamy Stadium in 2016 and 14.4 overs by SRH last week.
40 boundaries - 22 fours and 18 sixes by Knight Riders in their innings is the third most by a team in an innings in IPL behind 42 by RCB against PWI in Bengaluru in 2013 and 41 by LSG against Punjab Kings in Mohali last year. 18 maximums is the most in an innings by Knight Riders surpassing 17 each they hit against CSK in Chennai in 2018 and Punjab Kings in Kolkata in 2019.
85 by Sunil Narine is his highest score in T20 cricket eclipsing 79 for Trinbago Knight Riders against Barbados Royals in Port of Spain in CPL 2017. He also went past his previous highest IPL score of 75 he made against Punjab Kings in Indore in IPL 2018, which was when Knight Riders posted their previous highest total of 245/6.
Aged 18 years & 303 days, Angkrish Raghuvanshi became the youngest to score a half-century or more on his debut innings in IPL. The previous youngest to achieve the feat was Shreevats Goswami, who was one day past his 19th birthday when he scored 52 for RCB against Delhi Capitals in Bengaluru way back in IPL 2008.
25 balls taken by Angkrish Raghuvanshi to his fifty makes it the second quickest by any player to reach fifty on his debut innings in IPL, only behind James Hopes' 24-ball effort for Punjab Kings against CSK in Mohali in IPL 2008.
106 runs The winning margin for Knight Riders is the ninth biggest in all IPL in terms of runs and the second largest for them after the 140-run pounding against RCB in the first-ever match of IPL in 2008.
