But here’s the best part—these very records can be the secret weapon in your fantasy cricket journey.
So today, let’s take a fun and simple look at some of the toughest IPL records ever set—and how you can use them smartly on fantasy platforms like Vision11.

???? 1. The 175* That Still Stands Tall
Chris Gayle’s 175 not out in a single IPL match is one of those records that feels almost unreal. The power, the pace, the number of sixes—it was pure madness.
???? Fantasy Tip:
Keep an eye on players who open the innings and are aggressive from ball one. When someone gets close to Gayle-mode, they’ll bring massive points to your team.
???? 2. Virat Kohli’s 973 Runs in One Season
Imagine scoring almost 1000 runs in one IPL! That’s what Virat Kohli did in 2016. It’s not just a record—it’s a fantasy jackpot.
???? Fantasy Tip:
Target players who bat consistently and get promoted up the order. They offer stability and regular points. Think of them as your team's anchor.
???? 3. Most Sixes in a Season – Jos Buttler's Firepower
Buttler’s six-hitting spree proved how valuable a power-hitter is in fantasy cricket.
???? Fantasy Tip:
Players with high strike rates and six-hitting ability can give your team a huge boost—even if they don’t stay long at the crease.
???? 4. Malinga’s All-Time Wicket Haul
Lasith Malinga’s pinpoint yorkers helped him top the IPL wicket charts for years. Consistency like his is gold for fantasy leagues.
???? Fantasy Tip:
Don’t ignore bowlers. A good spell with 2-3 wickets, dot balls, or even a maiden over can swing your fantasy game big time.
???? 5. Dhoni’s Record as a Finisher
Not all records are about the biggest numbers. Some are about clutch moments—like MS Dhoni’s finishes. His calm and calculated game has led to many last-over wins.
???? Fantasy Tip:
Finishers might not face a lot of balls, but their quick scoring and sixes in the end can rack up crucial fantasy points.
