Narendra Modi Stadium Highest Score in T20 History

Shubman Gill has a terrific record at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

Narendra Modi Stadium has been nothing short of a run fest as far as T20s played here in 2023 are concerned. It is worth mentioning that six out of the Top 10 highest innings totals in T20s played at this venue have come this year.

For the sake of context, it is to be noted that the iconic stadium has hosted only nine out of its 60 Men’s T20s in the last five months. Furthermore, six out of the nine innings totals in excess of the 200-run mark at this stadium have come in this period.

Currently hosting Indian Premier League 2023 final between Chennai Super Kings and Gujarat Titans, it wouldn’t be astonishing if another archetype high-scoring contest gets registered tonight. In fact, a classic high-scoring thriller would be an fitting gift for thousands of cricket-crazy fans who have turned up to watch the match on a reserve day.

Speaking particularly of the ongoing 16th season of the IPL, five out of the Top 10 T20 scores at the Narendra Modi Stadium have come this season. Gujarat, home team and defending champions, have been at the giving and receiving ends four and one time respectively.

The latter is also the highest successful T20 run-chase here. Sixth-highest total here, the match is popularly remembered for Kolkata Knight Riders batter Rinku Singh scoring five sixes in a Yash Dayal final over last month.

A special mention needs to be made of Titans batter Shubman Gill for he has been in a completely different form in this format at the Narendra Modi Stadium this year. Three centuries and half-centuries each at an average of almost 100 see Gill scoring three times the runs scored by the next batter on the list here in 2023.
